Twice in a row now I’ve had to pull my dog in another direction due to people walking their dogs without a leash. Why tf do you feel so confident in your damn dog to not react? In fact I don’t fucking care. It’s a fucking law and it’s inconsiderate of other individuals and their pets. Seriously fuck you. Nobody cares how well trained your dog is or whatever the fuck you’re doing to stroke your damn ego.

      Working dogs are no joke. We have a Doberman puppy, and I have to take him for hikes every day, plus he needs lots of self-directed playtime, training, some sort of job like nose work, interactive toys and games, and a bunch of time to chew. He’s an amazing dog when he gets all of those things, but if life gets in the way and we miss something on a given day, he’s like “I’ma fuck something up real good!”, and we can see the boredom kick into destructive searching.

      As a working-line Shepherd owner, people just don’t understand that working dogs are on a whole other level.
