Why are some people so ignorant when it comes to their pets?

Question

Cannot get over the fact that people let their pet bark all day without doing anything about it....Makes me hate the pet...and the owner! Why can't they see that incessant barking could bother the neighbors when they are trying to enjoy a nice sunny peaceful afternoon in their backyard ?
Last week, we invited new neighbors for a nice dinner and to get acquainted. They showed up with their dog who ended up climbing on my furniture and spraying my vegetable garden ! Now, how ignorant is THIS ? Needless to say that they will not get an invitation again and I won't make an effort to become friends!
I just wished pet owners would realize that it is not all of us that think that their horrible pet can be "cute"!!!!!!

Answer 1

People these day's take pets to be "fashion statements" or "accessorie's" and many pets are given too on holidays, were people don't realize a pet isn't a commitment for the holiday but for life. People can also be selfish, saying "I want a dog!" but not taking into consideration work,school,and otehr long time periods of activities done regualarly though out a day...
Also many pet's who become sick,depressed, lonely, are pet's that owner's compensate attention withs omething else, I knew someone who,since couldn't give their dog proper care, compensated attention with food, the dog got horribly sick and obese, know people don't realize these are like "children" they need love,attention,food, and help too, un-like children though they don't have the mouth to tell us when they need it, people all deserve to own pet's and what not, but if you don't/can't give it the proper care and attention it needs, if they really loved it they would give it up, for the better.
Your neighbor's probably took the invitation too far, And as I said before, they probably don't have time for it (said above), but teh way to solve this, let your neighbor's know that their "unexpected guest" was a bit of a nuisience, let them know that you think teh "barking" might annoy teh neighbor's because tehy are new tehy will take your advice, they wouldn't want to re-peat a bad experience!
But let them know that you don't "like dog's" maybe when you invite them again they will know you mean the two, from my perspective, I think they wanted you too get to know "all the family" but just fill them in, and start over again!

Well I personally have a dog, and sometimes and it is a non stop annoyance.It usually stops barking though, but only when it starts running after something. Also don't hate the dog!or cat! cats and dogs(much like humans) are not very intelligent and are highly primitive. Dogs think they own everything so they bark to vocalize there thoughts.(they just can't whisper)also about the people with they're dog, well that is the stupidity and ignorance of the owner. Anyway why can't dogs be on furniture? they're probably twice intelligent as most human beings!(they just can't speak English!) Anyway dogs react to YOUR attitude if your angry so is it if your calm it will be too so when it barks CALM down. Also try watching dog whisperer.

Answer 3

I am a responsible pet owner but the neighbors behind me have several dogs who bark the entire time they are outside. It really bothers my husband, myself, and my dogs. The dogs are probably barking out of boredom. And bringing your dog(s) over to someone's house without being asked to is very rude. And, if a pet isn't well behaved, you shouldn't bring it along even if asked. There is some very easy "pet etiquette" that people should learn but some pet owners are lazy or don't care.

Answer 4

I agree human beings shouldn't get pets in the event that they at the instant are not prepared to spend the money on them for well-being care while they're ill yet.... only as i don't pass to the rfile for each tiny element, neither do my pets. only using fact I even have abdomen subject concerns or a runny nostril does not recommend i visit run to the rfile. If my pets are ill interior the comparable way I supply them 2 days or with a view to work out in the event that they're greater clever on their very own. i'm going to make poultry and rice for disappointed abdomen or perhaps supply a touch asprin (perfect dosage) for different ailments or minor injuries. of direction for something extreme i might pass to the vet on the instant, and if ailment did not sparkling up after 2days i might see a vet.... yet not purely for each tiny element.

Answer 5

It isn't just pet owners. Manners seemed to have gone out the window about 2 decades ago. I have a friend whose kids break things every time they come over. She is a sweet woman, but she hansn't taught her kids to respect the property of others. A lot of people are just out for themselves and what they can get, they don't consider others. What a shame.

Answer 6

i am a dog owner and i agree with you 100%. my neighbor leaves their dog outside all day and it never shuts up.on the other hand there are some ignorant non pet owners. my others neighbors daughter hates dogs. she yells and howls at my dogs until they run up to our fence and bark at her. then she screams for her mother and the mom had the nerve to spray them with water. so i guess my point is people in general are ignorant

Answer 7

Next time a dog is barking non-stop fill a stream spray bottle with vinegar and spray the fence and above the dogs head. It stops pit bulls and I am sure it will stop your barkers. You can't blame them, just yourself, Why didn't you say , Oh Im sorry but I dont have animals in my home. This is a no "pea" garden and a no pee garden. Or spray him with the vinegar! Im sure they would have said, we will take our dog home.

Answer 8

yea and what gives your neighbors the right to have a dog in their own house in their own backyard doing what they want because they paid their bills..you should be all alone in the peace and quiet and not have to hear or see anything you dont want too in the middle of the after noono while your having a peaceful sunny afternoon ..huh?
I do, however, agree with you that they shouldnt have broought the dog with them to your house for "the dinner" but your neighbors can do what they want at their house , including letting their dog bark

Answer 9

Come on, that's not even worth asking. I'd say it's probably got something to do with ninety percent of our population being about as smart as the pet. Oh, and next time stab the dogs eyes out with ka-bob skewers and serve them up to the owners with some meat and greens. You won't need to worry about them after that.......... not really though..... that's not very nice is it....

Answer 10

I don't know what to say about the rudeness of showing up to someones home with a dog, but barking dogs are not all bad.

When a few streets in our neighborhood all adopted dogs, their barking proved beneficial in the crime department. The number of break-ins and car thefts went way down.

So when my dogs bark because they think someone is hanging around the house, I like it.
