Why do dog owners think it’s acceptable for their wet dogs to jump at people ?

Chewbacca that’s appalling!

Dog. Not dig damned autocorrect

I was in a garden centre yesterday and a couple were in there with their large dog. As they approached the till area, the dig suddenly stopped, squatted and s**t on the carpeted floor. They calmly waited until it had finished and then walked out, leaving the stinking mess for the staff to clean up. Poor staff.

It isn't acceptable, dogs are supposed to be under the control of the person they are with.
Lady near me was walking in our local park when she was knocked over by a dog jumping up and broke her hip - not just an issue of dirty clothes, annoying as that is.

Grumpy old women of the world unite!

I’m a dog lover but I don’t want other folks dogs jumping on me when I’m out. I have a relative with a severe learning disability who is utterly terrified of dogs. No matter how small and cute they are. I had to stop taking him on park walks due to irresponsible owners allowing their dogs to run at him.

It’s good to know others feel the same! Don’t like appearing like a grumpy old woman but having clean clothes messed up is so annoying, it would be good to hear from dog owners and why they never apologise!

Love dogs but don’t want other peoples all over me piddling and slobbering people just don t accept that not everyone is going to be as delighted by their dog as they are
We ve just had a lovely new eating place open, it houses three or four different world, street eating, market stalls there’s seating and at night there’s a DJ s but they ve just announced

Leave them at home folks

I'm fed up with dogs and irresponsible owners. Two doors down from us there is one that yaps day and night. We have had to close our windows today in the heat as it was driving us insane. The owners are with it in the garden and just shout over it.
Our daughter had a garden party yesterday. A neighbour brought a dog, not on a lead. It pooed on DD"s lawn, the owners didn't offer to clean it up. It sat close to people who were eating and jumped up to try to get food. It grabbed a baby's dummy off a table and chewed it up. The owner said 'Oh sorry'. Unacceptable.

A friend of mine was having a picnic with her grandchildren on a beach designated as dog free. A loose dog ran up to her and peed on her back. No apology from the owner and when she, understandably, remonstrated, he pointed out that he regularly exercised his dog there and she was on his territory!

Don't get me started! As mentioned on here before, this has happened to me whilst wearing a white jacket which was subsequently covered in mud and was ripped by the dog's claw. The owner didn't apologise but she did laugh and tell the dog it was naughty So that's OK then.
