We love our pets. We love them more than life itself. And we've worked really hard to make sure they are good, respectful doggos. They follow commands. They love people. They tolerate other doggos (sometimes). And yet, as soon as people come over, they furget literally every bit of training we've ever worked on and become, well, animals. They are angels 90% of the time, and the other 10% of the time, we wish we could say, "We don't know this animal". 

If you find any of the above relatable - these howlarious doggo memes are pawfectly for you. For the pawrents who love their sweet, loving, calm doggos, and are convinced that they are just randomly possessed by evil spirits every once in a while - we feel you. We understand you. Despite knowing this, we will still tell people our doggos are perfect, even if they're not. We love them all the same, even if they have a little bit of bad dog in there with the good boy.

  • Remember, we worked on this. What do we do when someone knocks on the door? No, we don't bark as if the world is about to end. We wait calmly for the people to enter. Without barking. There is no need for barking. Don't bark. Please. They're not going to rob us of everything. They are friends!

    When your dog refuses to listen but you're trying to stay positive @thingsdoghandlerssay
    via @thingsdoghandlerssay

  • Dogs are very sensitive to your emotions, so the more stressed and upset you get, the less likely your dog is to listen to you in a stressful situation. We're speaking from pawsonal experience. It's best to stay calm and save your rage for screaming into a pillow.
