If your dog will bark at the beach don’t take them?

[Giraffesandbottoms]

At the beach. Someone has brought their dog alone. It has been relentlessly barking for 30 mins+ now at the water’s edge. How is this acceptable?! I didn’t bring my own dog because he’s a total clown at the beach. I also wouldn’t let my child stand and scream for 30 mins.

is this a thing? Do people do this?! AIBU or is it a “this is how their dog has fun” thing and I should lighten up?

Barking doesn’t necessarily mean you have no control over your dogs
Well of course it does if they don't stop when you tell them to. My neighbour has 3 labradors who stop immediately they're given the command.

I can’t believe you think it’s funny. It’s not. You can train your dog not to bark you know and while you may think it’s endearing most other people just think you have a really badly behaved annoying mutt.

The sound of barking may well be drowned out by all the really badly behaved annoying brats …

I wonder if someone could train them. Although the sound of them screeching like sirens is said by some to be quite endearing I hear.

I think a beach is one of the only places I wouldn’t stop my dog from barking (or my child from squealing for that matter).

😉

and by the way famous headphone maker - your lovely headphones don’t stop me hearing bairns or the dogs next door. ☹️

Yes it would annoy me, but kids continually screaming also annoy me.

A beech on a sunny day is going to be noisy. Get over it

@SarahSissions not the beaches I go to! 😁
