Unpopular Opinion: I don't like dogs.

Barking all the time and peeing on everything not to mention all the sniffing they like to do

Thank you Professional Hobby Jogger I'd add: Pet hair all over the place Picking up warm excrement with a thin plastic bag covering your hand Multiple $k surgeries to extend a very short life

Not all dogs bark "all the time". In fact, most breeds do NOT do that. There are so many breeds of dogs these days and so many designer hybrids that you can basically customize a dog to your desired lifestyle if you want.

You and anyone here can not like dogs if you want to, but to say that dogs "bark all the time" is just BS. I had a black lab for 15 years, and not only did she hardly ever bark, but she didn't require expensive surgeries or care during her lifetime either (as someone else here mentioned).

Jack: Greg, how come you don't like cats?

Greg: I don't not like cats. I-I just-- I just prefer dogs. I mean, I'm just more of a dog kind of, you know--Come home, wagging their little tails, happy to see you kind of--

Jack: You need that assurance? You prefer an emotionally shallow animal?

Greg: I--

Jack: You see, Greg, when you yell at a dog, his tail will go between his legs and cover his genitals, his ears will go down. A dog is very easy to break, but cats make you work for their affection. They don't sell out the way dogs do.

Greg: Huh.

You’re not alone. Cats are the superior pet. Pee and poop on their own, quieter, low maintenance, not as needy, chill AF.

Every dog I encounter on the elevator or in any other tight quarters feels compelled to sniff or lick me and therefore I'm supposed to gush about how cute the dog is or ask it's name or what breed it is. I could not care less and often move away from it. Dog owners can't understand that I don't want my face licked and smelling like the dog's butt.

Fortunately for those who don't like dogs, there is no requirement to do so. Go on with your sad, pathetic lives as you see fit. You have my blessing. And my dog's.

I like dogs. I don't like a lot of dog owners.

Dogs are the best. So loving and affectionate. Every kid should grow up with a dog. They’re too good for humans.

Dogs are just like people. They can and will turn on you when least expected.

Not a fan of cats either.

I don't like dog owners that don't train their dogs to a very minimal standard of not being a nuisance to their neighbors. I live by someone who has a half dozen dogs that wake me up before my alarm goes off an average of 5-6 times a week. I never know when those 1-2 days will be that they don't. The dogs are friendly, but a terrible nuisance.

Dog "breeds" are generally full of genetic time bombs that wreck their health or guarantee bad behavior.

Most dogs are yard-dwellers and develop the bark-at-all-passersby territorial nastiness that all the yard-dwelling dogs do. The only way to stop them is aggressively train them to be different from the other dogs, completely against their nature. About one in ten dog owners has the common decency to do that.

How? This is impossible! They are so pretty and very friendly! My dog for example always is very clean and liked to be washed. It depends on the owner. There are people who don’t care at all and just say that the dogs like to be dirty and creat mess everything. I’ve bought for my a special table, grooming table to take care about his appearance. Here https://officiallypets.com/barkbox-review/ are presented a lot of things for dog care. It will help you to take care about wool and forget about dirty paws. Dogs are much better than humans. Think about it!

Good for you. If you are in a stay at home state, it's probably less of an issue even yet.

Hate 'em. Can't remember a single good experience with a dog. As a runner and cyclist, dozens of very bad ones.

Plus, don't even get me started on how obnoxious women are about their dogs.

Cat guy.

I haven't seen fleas mentioned yet.

FLEAS.

I hate all dogs. In my life I have been chased, knocked over, lunged at, barked at and have been savagely bitten, Most of these events happened while I was running on a public street.

Butt (sic) listen to this: Since I moved from the northeast US to the southeast US almost all dogs here are well behaved, many of them shy. So actually I hate dogs, and their owners, that violate my right to be left alone. Still I will not pet any dog or even comment on them or make baby talk with them. I think all dogs should be banned from the world.
