And I agree, I too cannot stand a yappy wired up dog. Our dog is good, she is nice and quiet UNTILL my wife comes home, an then she start to bark at everything, even the most faint off in the far far far distance other dog bark, and she about give you a heart attack doing it. Youd be all into something a movie, or reading, or making a reply, house is quiet, and then all off a sudden, with no warning at all just a loud (ASS) "BARK BARK BARK", damn near make you shit your pants, and heart stop, and she only does this crap when my wife comes home. Im home with her all day, and she doesnt bark at a damn thing unless someone comes to the door, but as soon as she comes home and she hears even a mouse fart, its bark bark bark. And then my wife is no help for all she does is scream "SHUT UP COCO!" about a billion times and never smacks the dog, not even a little to let it know its doing wrong, and I try and tell her she has got to let it know she is doing wrong, for you just cant yell at it, its like a child, if all you do is yell at it with no punishment, why should it ever stop doing whats wrong if it never gets punished for it? And I get the "Oh shut up" from her, and then have to listen to another billion BARKS, and SHUT UP COCO!
But yes, I been to other peoples homes where I cant even talk to them for their own dogs wont shut the hell up and are bouncing all over the place, barking like mad, off the walls, and Im like what the hell is the point, I will call you over the phone, I cant take this shit no more, and they look at me like what the hell is your problem, how can this be a bother, and you literally got to yell to be heard, and the person your trying to talk to is 3 feet away.
At what point then does the pet NOT become the pet, and the roles are reversed? I tell that to my wife about the one cat we got. She gets home and the cat will meow at her feet till she puts her arms down so SHE can jump up on her, and then she will become a pest and get on her shoulders and act as if she is trying to crawl her way down her back, but she isnt, she found a way to make my wife bend over, and then the cat will proceed to lay down on my wifes back. SHE forced my wife, to move her arms so she could jump on her, then bend over because my wife cant stand the feeling of the claws going down her back so she is forced into a bend position, and when she does the cat does a few circles, and I shit you not, the eyes get all squinty like she knows what she just made her do, and is all comfortable and shit. I actually got pictures of this! And I tell my wife, that she is no longer the master in this situation, she has really become the pet to the pet, and the cat is her master doing what she has trained HER to do! And she cant get that through her head and actually finds it funny, and I find it sad in a way really.
But there is a fine line between owning a pet, and the pet owning you, and when a pet is doing something that is undesirable to you, as the owner, and does what it wants, its really not YOUR pet, youre its pet for its doing what it wants to do and youre letting it. Any pet can be trained to do what YOU want it to do and act, which is why my dog acts like a completly different dog when my wife gets home, and why my cat wouldnt DARE think to jump up on me at all, or try to make me bend over so it can lay down on my back. So if your pet is lashing out, it really is the owners fault, for turning yourself into the pet, take back the control, and all order will come back and you can enjoy having your pet around.
