How do I stop my friend from teasing my dog?

Question

Whenever she comes over to my house, she will constantly say things like my dog, Jay Jay, is something bought out of a store and sometimes she will even go to the extent of whispering in my dog's ear, saying stuff like "how would you feel if I rip your fur out..." After she leaves, Jay Jay, understanding human speech, will always look so sad compared to normal days. how do I tell her nicely to leave Jay Jay alone?

Answer 1

I think you need to assert yourself a little more. If you dont like it, say so! Its your house. If she continues then she is disrespecting you in your own home and therefore needs to leave!
Once aware of it, a real friend would apologise and not do it again.
You need to speak up.
Technically Jay Jay is a member of your family, would you let her degrade your children andscare them to death?

Answer 2

some good answers already given ......

I'd be concerned that the dog reaches it's limitation with your dopey-minded friend ( sorry NOT saying you're dopey but that your friend is) and that Jay Jay will bite her ... AND THEN she will make you have the dog destroyed ... :(

ANY friend who teases a pet as she is doing is NOT really the type of person i would select to have as a friend ...

tell her to quit being a B*tch or else she is NOT welcome to visit you...
YOU don't want your dog to bite her.

EDIT: one poster wrote that dogs do not understand human speech .... SORRY but while they may not be able to understand the whole of Webster's Dictionary .. there are words which said in ANY TONE some dogs will understand...It depends on the breed and the amount of *communication* carried out with the dog ...
HAVING said all that though .. it is possible that Jay Jay is picking up on the negative and threatening tones used by your friend...

Once again .. i would have to question WHAT kind of person your friend is.

She is not your friend if she is mean to your dog. Tell her she can't come over again if she keeps teasing. Also tell your parents. You are obviously a young person and may not understand. What this girl is doing is threatening to do harm to your dog. It does not matter if your dog understands or not. Dogs can sense danger and dangerous people. It is your job to protect Jay Jay. What if she really rips your dogs fur off? Would she still be your friend? Let your mommy and daddy know that this girl wants to hurt your dog. They should know what to do.

I have that problem with one of my friends, only me and my puppy go to her. She's the only person I know with younger dogs that will still want to play and I want my pup to be social enough to not go nuts when I take her to classes eventually. Thing is, after having my dog there I've noticed how bad the friend is with animals. She beleives letting a dog drag a brick around the yard is a good sub for a walk, but her dogs haven't left her yard in god knows how long. And she plays rough and calls my puppy a heffer *she weighs 3lb 3oz, i wouoldn't call her no heffer* and when she goes to sleep in her lap the friend shakes my puppy and starts using harsh words.I can't stand it. And then when she whineing in her crate and I go to take her out she gets irritated that I won't just let her cry when maybe she needs to use the bathroom. What really gets me, though, is that she threatens to hit her, and when I think back I do remember her smacking her puppy around so long ago.

My advice is to just avoid the situation. If it's unnavoidable, have a nice little chat and get your friend to understand that you don't like your dog being treated like that. I just hope that your problem with telling the friend isn't qwuite the same as mine, because if you're scared your friend might take offense and go at you swinging, you really need some better friends. Me? I need someone to talk to and a way out of the house, and right now this idiot friend is all I got.

Answer 5

you're restricted on what you may want to do, in spite of the undeniable fact that the mothers and fathers opt to take administration of those children and supplies you up this. a sturdy previous shaped spanking and eliminating privileges for a lengthy adequate time to make an impact might want to be finished by potential of the mothers and fathers. the mothers and fathers are allowing the canine to be abused and in doing so are installation a difficulty the position the children are going to get heavily bitten. there is no excuse for the mothers and fathers to allow children proceed with those moves. on the a lengthy time period of 11 & 13 those children opt to income who's in value. it seems those children are operating the better half and children and if the mothers and fathers can not administration the children then the canine desires to be despatched to a unique homestead the position it would want to have a existence without abuse.

Answer 6

Tell her once to stop teasing your dog. You have to stand up for Jay Jay. If she doesn't knock her front tooth out. She has some serious issues. I don't promote violence. Thats jsut what I would want to do. I know if my Lola was being teased and it didn't stop that would be the end of the relationship, period.

Answer 7

WHAT! You haven't tried nice already. Tell your friend in no uncertain terms to stop harassing your Jay Jay. If she's a friend, she'll understand the bond and quit. If that doesn't work, tell her she's no longer welcome in your home unless she can treat Jay Jay with respect. If she gets upset and doesn't come back.....I'd say no great loss, she wasn't a true friend to begin with

Answer 8

dogs don't understand human speech. (sorry to bust your bubble), but you should tell your "friend" to leave your dog alone. Or when she's whispering into the dog's ear one time just say "hey, can you stop that, i really don't like when you say those things to him", if she shrugs you off, or doesn't stop, then she obviously doesn't respect you,and you should nicely tell her to get out of your house.

Answer 9

First I think your friend is a Jerk and you should be looking for another. Second, I think you are giving your dog way too much credit in the "understanding human speech" department. The dog is just feeding off of your negative body language. It doesn't understand complex human thoughts and comments.....Sorry!

Answer 10

Your friend is WEIRD! Pulling fur out? I would lean in and smile (in a maniacal way) and say "how would you feel if I riped your hair out." If she gets defensive about it, tell her I feel the same way when you say it to my dog. You need a new friend, get away from that one. I have heard all the jokes ie; Go home and kick the dog. etc. But asking your dog about pulling its fur out is OUT THERE in left field. Get away from that person......I'll bet she tortured small animals as a child.
