a: people who dont pick up their dog poop (i do so why shouldnt they and i tell them if i see them not picking up if they say theyve forgotten their poop bag i give them one )
b: people who cant be bothered to walk their dogs and just let them out to wonder on their own (poor dogs)
c: people with dogs themselves who incourage my pup to jump up at them ( we are trying to teach her not too jump up at people) surely they were in the same predectament as us.

People who allow their dogs to jump on the backs of my elderly spayed bitches and hump them .
When asked politely to remove their dogs they either
1 - accuse me of having a bitch in season
or
2- say but he's only playing
People who get dogs without researching what having a dog entails .
People who dump their dog the minute it displays any sort of problem behaviour instead of dealing with the problem .
People who walk their dogs off lead beside busy roads
People who allow their dogs to have unplanned litters .

* Dogs being walked off lead next to a road.
* Flexi leads along pavements (save them for the park!)
* People allowing their dogs to approach mine when they are either on lead or i've made them sit and wait.
* People allowing their dogs to approach mine when i'm clearly training them.
* Dogs jumping around in the passenger area/sticking their heads out the window.
* People with small dogs who scoop them up at the slightest sight of another dog.
This seems to keep happening to me so i'm going to add it:
* People who allow their dogs to stick their noses into the boot of my car when I open it up because "they want to have a look" at my dogs. Why other dog owners cant see how this would upset many dogs is beyond me. Flynn's growling wasnt enough for one bloke the other day so I had to tell him myself to move his away.

People who walk aggressive dogs through the middle of busy parks and complain about other people's friendly dogs...

Dogs that attack letter boxes.
People who stick 'Beware of the Dog' stickers on their house...... 1. If it's a much maligned breed such as rotties etc you are hardly doing it a favour and 2. You have just admitted you knew it was dangerous if it ever does anything to anyone.
People who let their dogs out too far on Flexi leads so as to be no longer controlled, like the dax that was stretched right across my office door the otherday.
People who look down on large crosses as mutts and yet think the smaller pretty crosses are suddenly designer crosses.
People who get puppies when you know they won't be able to cope..... but won't listen.
Children who are scared of dogs all because their parents are.
People who stroke my dogs and then get the alcohol gel out for their hands afterwards... unclean, unclean!
People who walk their dogs offlead alongside the road.... I know they may have never done anything before but there's always a first time and as a driver drivng past it can be very un-nerving.

People who don't pick up poo
People walking dogs with no leads next to roads
People telling me I don't look after my dog and he should be taken away because he is underweight (even though we are working on it with the vet), especially when their porky pooch needs to go on a diet
and (I may need the flame-proof suit for this one) people who moan about crosses such as labradoodles and how they are not 'proper' breeds etc whilst forgetting that not so long ago their pedigree dog was a cross of lots of breeds too and people were likely saying the same things about those crosses (which is not to say I think we should be crossing dogs just cos we can, or charging the earth for 'designer dogs'. I just don't like the way some people look down on them as 'just mongrels' whilst forgetting most pedigrees were crosses once)
oh, and people who don't stop, (or worse encourage them to do it) children from walking up and stroking dogs that are strangers to them (especially when the excuse is "well it's a guide dog so it'll be nice" - not if johnny pokes it with a stick then tries patting her she won't)
and another guide dog one, people who walk up and stroke the dog when it's working (especially ones who say "I know I shouldn't stroke them" and do it anyway) or who feed them while they are working.

People who train my dogs to jump up on them saying 'its OK its dog walking clothes' while treating and petting them while they are in the air - then moan when they have good clothes on
People who think thier dogs are OK and just giving the dog a telling off, when actually they are agressive and the only reason they are not in a fight is because the other dog is polite enough to put up with that
People who look like you as if you are scum if your on lead dog barks at their offlead bouncing in your face
ohh, gonna stop now I could go on all day

I shouted 'stop' at a child the other day as it went charging up to Woody and Dad did nothing about it! Woody does not like being grabbed or cornered and I was so cross because I thought if he bites the child I've lost my best friend because of the ignorance of the bloody parents!
So idiotic to let a child go charging up to a dog, on lead that it does not know! I actually told 'Dad' this, not that he cared, he was too angry for me yelling at his kid. Well sorreeeee!!
