Training your cute canine is tough at the best of times. You have to put in several hours, hundreds of treats and more patience than you might have had while raising your own children. But what if you found yourself in a position where all of that effort was simply not enough, and not because of you or your darling doggo, but because of random strangers interfering in your hard work.

Well, this is exactly what happened to this canine pawrent who simply wanted to slowly socialize her pawdorable pupper with other dogs, yet was constantly accosted by hoomans who had no idea what damage they were doing to this doggo's training. We can only hope that this post will bring light to the fact that much like it is not ok to walk over to someone's child and pick them up without asking, that it is similarly not ok to pick up a perky pup, just because they are cute.

    I have a four month old Pomeranian and let me tell you, it's not all sunshine and rainbows having a puppy that looks like the world's most adorable teddy bear.

    People have PICKED HIM UP without my permission then gotten bitter when I told them to never do that with a dog they don't know. I even got him a leash that says TRAINING but it doesn't help. It's making training

    He's actually VERY good at paying attention to me and walking by most people and even some dogs with no reaction... if they ignore him.

    Once they get excited, it's over. They come over baby talking and freaking out, and he immediately senses their energy and starts jumping for attention, even if I'm actively trying to give signals to the person not to come over.

    I've had a woman stop her vehicle to come pet him.

    It's frustrating because I'm trying to socialize him but I'm starting to avoid certain places because I'm worried it's setting back his training and knowing he can't greet everyone who gives him attention.

    I've started to become quite rude with people who usually just want to say hi. I've even lied and said he's not friendly: one woman actually started arguing with me because he was clearly excited to go over to her.

  • Wow, this is looking like quite the intense situation, who would have thought that training a delightful doggo could be so complicated. But suppose someone tried to pick up your child and hold them while you were trying to teach them to skip stones at a lake. Not only would it be weird it would also be very counterproductive to their learning.

    I realize a portion of this is my fault and I have to be even more firm, but it has been hard.

    I can't believe I'm saying this but I can't wait for people to just think he's a standard, boring, adult Pomeranian. Yes I'm being dramatic, but this is a vent.

    Phew, felt good to get that off my chest.

  • Well now it is not all too hard to understand how the people of the public simply cannot control themselves around such a sublime cutie. Honestly, it is impressive that this pawrent was even able to initiate training this pup, when they have to content with such serious amounts of cuteness.

    Yell and scream at anyone who attempts to pet your dog without permission, regardless of the dog.

    they like it if I just came up to the friend they were walking next to amd started petting them and baby talking them while asking questions about age and weight?

    EDIT: you are not being dramatic at all. Those people are being rude. Especially with a puppy. So much training is going on in its head even when you are not actively training it.

    Just because something is small and cute doesn't give everyone rights to molest and harass the poor thing
