    Did she try to train the dog at all? I’m getting the strong impression that she just got a fucking dog and expected it to automatically do exactly what she wanted without any training, then violently lost her shit when the animal just did animal things.

    It wouldn’t be the first person who couldn’t (or wouldn’t) grasp that animals have their own fucking shit they do, and that you honestly have to accommodate them more than they will even be able to accommodate you.

      I have met countless people that think talking to the dog means it understands and when it doesn’t do what you say it is just belligerent.

        tbh there are moments where it’s clear that my dog got the command but doesn’t feel like executing it, but that’s a skill issue on my part for not convincing him that listening to me is poggers

      Yes she did.

      She mentioned a shock collar at one point iirc, so clearly she’s a pro.
