We've got some very close friends and they have a Dog that just turned one.
It's treated like a person and it's unruly and it's having an impact regarding us going around their house, we have small children.
The Dog is constantly jumping up and scratching our children. My children get scared and scream but they won't put the dog away, in its cage or put it outside, it's just running around the house in a frenzy, being told to stop it it or be calm but it's not disciplined and just does what it wants. I don't think it's vicious just very excitable and needs energy burning off which I don't think it gets enough of.
If we are having something to eat there or a cup of tea and a biscuit, then the Dog has to have a treat too despite it being badly behaved. The owners are absolutely clueless regarding owning Dogs and quite often I come away with a headache as it's so chaotic.
I don't know how to approach this or whether just to say nothing and just stop going around there. I don't want to offend or fall out with this family as we are very close with them and they are dear to us.
