Reply to comment by DJBabyB0kCh0y in "Even a $7,000 Rent Doesn’t Guarantee Dogs Get to Walk Through the Lobby" In some New York City buildings, the four-legged pets are not welcome everywhere. Their owners must carry them or use a service elevator. by CactusBoyScout

Many dog owners are really inconsiderate and irresponsible.

I'm lightly allergic, and dog owners in my building will just let their dog jump on me in the elevators and the lobby. I'm ok with dogs around (which is why I ended up renting in a pet friendly building) but holy fuck why would you let it just jump on people. Then there's always a log or two at the tree on the block, and often a puddle of piss literally on our front door step. Again, holy fuck you're in control, don't let it piss wherever it wants...

There are one or two dog owners in my building who keep a tight leash indoors, they're awesome.

The dog owners in my buildings are bigger animals than the dogs themselves. Shit everywhere on surrounding blocks, unabated barking at all hours of the day and night. It’s an apartment building, not your personal fucking kennel.

Man, I live next to tons of people with dogs and they are all normal people. Sorry you seem to have gotten a bad break.

Honestly man, I’ve always loved dogs growing up but it has made me very resentful towards them now.

I also felt a little mislead since the building never advertised any rules about dogs and my lease specifically said no pets.

This is what happens when you live in a neighborhood filled with entitled transplants, I guess. Partly my own fault.

These people annoy me. I have a dog in an apartment complex and I do not tolerate ANY barking, i have cameras set up with sound notifications so I know whenever she barks (she rarely does now due to training) and also make sure to curb her, pick up her shit and do all the right things because I never want to be THAT guy.

So when fucks just let their dog bark, don’t pick up shit, and let their dogs romp all over strangers it somehow reflects poorly on me and I just want to take their dogs leash, wrap it around their neck and drag them through the shit infested concrete they leave behind.

You’re one of the good ones!

I’ve been constantly woken up at 11pm, 1:30am, 6am, etc from extremely loud and obnoxious barking. There was a day recently where a dog barked for 2 hours straight.

The best part is I don’t know the exact apartment numbers so I can’t even file a formal complaint to the city!

I was outside twice today for a total of maybe half an hour and on both occasions I had to yell at inconsiderate dog owners who were standing on one side of the sidewalk while their animals were on the other with the leash stretched across.

and when objected to, their response is always "oh but s/he is friendly". No, friendly doesn't mean a free pass to unsolicited contact. Back the fuck off and respect someone else's boundaries.

I’ve run into a few people over the years who curb their dog. These are good, thoughtful people and responsible dog owners. The vast majority will leave piss puddles right in the middle of the sidewalk and think nothing of it.

Just complain to management? Give them the unit number, floor number or just description of the dog. They’ll warn them, then issue fines.
