Why is my dog being such an asshole today?

First holiday away with DDog; he is 18 months old.

As I type I am having to ignore his god awful whining because I won’t let him out for the 100th time. He doesn’t need to toilet, he has been on a lovely walk and should be ready to collapse in a nap by now .

He’s refusing to settle. We were supposed to be going to a small children’s event in the local pub across the road but because he won’t settle (barking and barking when left for 5 minutes); I’ve had to stay home and DH has taken the DC.

The DC who were desperate for a dog are pissed off I haven’t gone. I’ve explained we have to make sacrifices for our pets and they are old enough to understand but are still upset.

I’m fucked off that my one and only chance of sitting down to read my book is being hijacked by the dog whining and whining for some reason he only knows.

Are holidays like this normal with dogs? Are they usually so unsettled?

Just re-read my post! We are going away with him, not doing away with him Grin
I was going to say - that's a bit much Grin

He might be an arsehole but that’s pretty drastic

My oldest would be 'imjudgingyou'

My middle would be 'canwebefriendsyeswearefriendsiloveyousomuchidoidoido*

The youngest would be 'unlessitstummyrubsorfoodidgaf*

Definitely to do with being in a strange place.
My dogs user name would be BallsBallsBalls.

AbsolutelyPatsy · 18/08/2021 05:58

he doesnt know you are on holiday, he thinks you have moved and of course he doesnt want to be left in a strange house.

I’ve called my dog a few things when he’s misbehaved in the past, I’m sure most people have. I don’t think it’s indicative of anything except dog owner frustration, which id prefer comes out in a rude name than frustration towards the animal tbh. Sometimes my 1 year old retriever has really been a twat I’ve muttered under my breath and moaned to my mum and found solutions and moved on. Not sure what’s wrong with that.
Hope ddog is happier now op
