Looked out the window with my dogs and a woman

Walking her dog started barking. The dog detected my dogs and naturally barked and she litterally spanked him three times.

Nothing that would bruise or damage him but disturbing a dog owner disciplining their pup like that.

Heart breaking. People who are embarrassed about their dogs barking shouldn’t have dogs. If they get mad and spank them

And this form of punishment will not address her dogs barking.

There’s a woman at work who tells stories about her dog misbehaving and she says that she beats him for it. I thought she was joking at first, but I really don’t think so.

That’s horrible. The worst I do with my cat is squirt him with water if he is into something he shouldn’t be. I try to avoid yelling and I never hit him.

There are probably many people out there who shouldn’t have dogs. I think for a dog there really ought to be a course for people to get licensed to have them, to take care of animal wellfare and the dogs rights. I feel in particular people with dogs, because many times I have seen people who should not be dog owners. People who are controlling get dogs as opposed to other pets.

Obviously I don’t mean all dog owners are overly controlling, but hopefully you know what I mean.

I agree.

Sometimes people think they want one then realize they are too self absorbed to care for them.

Their imagination and view of having a dog is doesn’t align with all the responsibilities involved and they send the dog away.

Yeah a dog barking is probably its most natural impulse it has. It would probably cause the dog mental issues if its punished every time it does it.
I really want to get a dog. I had one as a kid. And i loved my ex gf’s dog a lot. I think it would be great for my gf and i. Especially since we dont want kids or anything.
