Title says it all. What really irks you that you don't get to complain about much without catching some glances? Seriously, get as passionate as you'd like. I assume you're an expert.

Dogs that bark at people that are just walking on the sidewalk. It pisses me off to no end.

Cannot people walk freely on public sidewalks without being bothered by a fucking dog barking as if I am committing a robbery? Owners should train their dogs not to bark like that.

It pisses me off. Seriously. Just thinking about that, my blood pressure is already rising. Imagine if every house had one of those dogs. It would be fucking hell to go anywhere by foot.

I think you can learn to not be angry by understanding dogs better. They are protecting their territory and they are the one animal that loves its humans more then anything.

They are actually amazing. So I think if you learn the positive things about them, you may like them more.

The dogs piss me off at that moment, sure, but it's the owners I hate..

dogs dont piss me off, but their lazy as fuck owners that can't be bothered to train them do. for most people it seems their dogs are just another accessory to show off, not you know...a living breathing animal.

not to mention the whole "alpha" training nonsense that fucks up dogs into stressed out furballs even more.
