		<description>Oh damn do I hate my dog...........she&#039;s such a freaking destructive pest.
2 year old yellow lab.
As a puppy, she did nothing but bite us, bark at us, and eat ANYTHING she could get in her mouth.........several thousand dollars in vet bills to get her stomach pumped.
Despite all the exercise and chew toys, she has managed to tear up about 5% of the carpet in my house, and there are 8 big holes in the wall.
I run this dog 25 miles a week.......she mostly has free reign of the house and yard.
So it&#039;s not like she&#039;s stuck in a crate all day.

She&#039;s a sweet dog.........but damn she&#039;s a PEST.
She is CONSTANTLY leaning on me and licking me and sticking her cold wet nose on my hand,,,,,....this is so annoying!!
I&#039;ll be washing dishes and she&#039;ll sit on my foot and fall into my leg.

She is always in my damn way and trips me.
My wife and I have to yell at her or she won&#039;t take us serious.
And I hate yelling.

And she CONSTANTLY has gas.......really smelly gas.
She&#039;s a big giant pooping machine, and she has the smelliest shit of any dog I&#039;ve ever known.
One time I woke up from a nap and she had crawled on the bed.
I woke up because she farted and her ass was right next to my face.

And nobody can teach her anything........she has shit for brains.
I used to tie her in the hallway when I couldn&#039;t supervise her.
Several times she chewed the rope in half and didn&#039;t even realize she was free.
I threw a bone down the hall way and she&#039;d stop where the rope would normally end.

When she was a puppy I thought she was smart.
I taught her a lot until she was 5 months old..........she hasn&#039;t learned anything since.
I&#039;ve been through 3 personal trainers who finally admitted that she doesn&#039;t have any self-control and thus I&#039;ll have to learn to work &quot;around&quot; her problems and probably can&#039;t correct them.

She&#039;s a hyper ditz in public and jumps on people, wagging her tail.
And people then say &quot;TRAIN YOUR DOG&quot;.......aahhhhhhhh so frustrating.

For people who say it&#039;s the owner, not the dog......that every dog can be trained......well you have just been lucky so far.
I used to say that too.
Training a dog is not rocket science.......the dog has a mind of its own.......if it&#039;s too stupid or hyper to learn and behave it just won&#039;t do it.

But I keep my dog because she is a sweet dog now,,,,,just really pesty.
I&#039;m too afraid of what would happen to her if I gave her away.</description>

		<description>By the way, did I mention that AYL has a brother who is at this moment sleeping peacefully in the heated dog house? Just in case you thought the dog might be BORED or something, and that&#039;s why he keeps trying to escape. Nope, it&#039;s just to drive me INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it&#039;s WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>Aaaaand, I&#039;m back. Today Moe (aka asshole yellow lab, AYL for short) has found yet another way to escape the expensive dog run we had installed for him this past summer, since he totally wrecked our lawn with his digging and crapping last summer.  We made a NICE BIG dog run, complete with a small swimming pool, tons of toys and bones, and a big cedar house with a floor and HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING.  Yes, you read right, there&#039;s a heating and air conditioning unit for the effing DOG HOUSE.  There used to be nice magnetic doors on the house, too, until AYL the Wonder Crapper chewed them off.  Ok, so the neighbors got a little black terrier puppy, cutest thing you ever saw and I never hear a peep our of him.  Of course maybe that&#039;s cuz AYL drowns him out, who knows? Anywho, AYL decided he simply MUST have that little terrier and has dug two ENORMOUS holes under the 6ft cedar privacy fence that surrounds his run on three sides.  I put 1/4&quot; wire fencing in the holes with big rocks on top of them so he can&#039;t get thru them anymore.  Now he&#039;s working on a new hole.  If it&#039;s deep enuf maybe I&#039;ll use it as his GRAVE!
Ok so I sort of stopped him from escaping thru the holes with my ingenious wire rock trap, at least for a few days, and today I put him in the run and lo and behold, five minutes later he was at the door.  How DID he get out??  I put him back.  Four minutes later he was at the door again.  Again, I put him back.  This time I was barely back int he house and there he was at the door.  It would be hilarious if it weren&#039;t so DAMN FRUSTRATING!!!!  Turns out he is actually jumping on the 4.5 foot pool ledge, balancing on it til he can get on the deck, and then he has the run of the yard.  He can&#039;t escape the back yard because of the previously mentioned fence, but it would kill me to have his kleenex and cotton ball filled crap (his favorite treats) all over my pristine green carpet of sod.
Now he is in his crate with a blanket over it because I can&#039;t stand to look at his stupid face.  Is there like a novena to some saint for hastening dog death? I&#039;m thisclose to putting him in the car and dropping him off in the forest preserve.  I swear he will be the DEATH of me.</description>

		<description>let her run away? put a faulty collar on her that will open with some pulling? I dunno. Sounds like your husband can be stubborn and selfish making you do all the dirty work for your dog.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad that I found this site. I thought I was the only one who had thoughts that I would only share with my husband. I hate my in-law&#039;s mini-schnauzer mutt. I wish that it would get run over or get lost. Whenever I visit, it jumps on me incessantly with a heavy paw. I try to be polite and wait for my in-laws to stop him. They giggle and act like nothing is happening. btw, i hate them too. Then i sit down on the couch &amp; laugh about the conversation. The schnauzer shoves his tough into my mouth. INTO MY MOUTH. I thought I would vomit. I wish i had vomited on the dog. 

Moreover when I bring my sweet little cavalier pup over to say hi, the schnauzer is constantly pawing at his face, and intercepting whenever someone gives my puppy affection. Like the Schnauz can&#039;t stand the competition. But there is no competition because my cavalier is such a sweet little pushover. Plus the Schnauz has cornered my in-law&#039;s cat basically allowing her a chair seat in the kitchen. That&#039;s it - the rest of the huge house is his. And my stupid in-laws act like there is nothing they can do about it. Oh, i have an idea - discipline your stupid aggressive, territorial shithead schnauz. The poor cat is now obese and ignored. My in-laws admitted that the new dog is just more interesting and couldn&#039;t be bothered with their old cat.

When my in-laws&#039; schnauz comes over, he high-pitch whines like a wimpy little shit because I blocked off the living room from the rest of the house. Then he runs around and marks (urines) on my couches and ottoman. Some marks I find later that day, others I find weeks later when my cavalier is sniffing an area a long time (my cavalier can&#039;t mark furniture because he can&#039;t lift his leg when he pees - pees like a girl syndrome).

When I try to give schnauz another chance by babysitting and trying to get him to play nicely with my cav, he bolts it out of my yard as fast as he can while I&#039;m screaming, &quot;STOP!&quot; and all I can think is how my in-laws would kill me, but secretly I would be happy if he ran into the busy road. My cav was jogging next to me and would never be as stupid as this schnauz. 

fyi, he was from a shelter, 2 yrs old mutt, has no personality- for example, when he is left alone with me &amp; cav and my in-law leaves the room, he just sits there so pathetically with eyes fixated on the door. He doesn&#039;t play with dogs, humans, toys, or has interesting idiosyncrasies. He just obsesses about claiming territory and his owners.</description>

		<description>As a non-dog owner, i would give anything to know how dog owners justify the kind of practices, leaving dogs alone, leaving them out all night, etc., that result in the kind of constant barking and other nuisances that really alienate the rest of us, affecting our sleep work and right to enjoyment of our lives.  Is it that you are inured to your own dogs behavior, or as some suspect, related to a kind of anti-social impulse? Don&#039;t the more responsible owners at least realize how bad this makes all of you look and makes many of us loath dogs? I am truly curious.</description>

		<description>Paula, I hate to break it to you, but children aren&#039;t dogs. My children are angels. I have three teenagers who are a pleasure to spend time with. I also had one wonderful yellow lab who died of cancer after I treated him for as long as he could stand it to the tune of $8000.00, but he died in August of 06. Our other yellow lab, who was 3 at the time, seemed to be mourning his beloved &quot;brother&quot; so we got another yellow lab puppy in March of 07. This is the dog you can read about below. The horrible dog who has not changed since Feb of 09 when I wrote that.  He has cost us literally THOUSANDS of dollars.  My kids are great, my other two dogs were and are great, this dog is just an asshole.</description>
