Why do people get dogs then not walk them?

[WULFSTAN]

Like title says really. Then they start wondering why the dog is shiting and pissing everywhere

Generalisation or in relation to a certain person you know?

I love walking my dog! I wish I had more time in the day to walk her.

Thought about walking it yourself? I know it's not your responsibility but it's not the dogs fault either, and if you can do it a favour

getting a dog for most people is always a good idea until you realise its more effort than they first thought
walks food vet bills etc
my next door neighbor bought a puppy shortly after i got mine i now own next doors dog and walk both together twice a day.apparently once it wasnt a puppy any more they lost interest

[waffles]

One of my neighbours has a dog, some sort of spaniel I think, and I had no idea they owned a dog until I found it in my kitchen one day. In the five or six years since I have only ever seen them walk it once. On the other hand my other neighbours have a big dog that gets walked every day come rain or shine and it loved galloping around in the snow!

We don't walk ours anywhere near enough, and we know it's wrong, but we do a lot of mind exercise which -although it isn't an adequate replacement over long periods- it does stop them misbehaving. Basically they're tired from training but not getting physical training or getting to sniff the outside world.
We need to change our life around the dogs cos at the moment we don't give them enough of it.

This, my friends, is why cats rule.

You just let them out. They have lots of fun outside, then you can have some love and attention whenever you like.

Basically owning a dog is like having a ball and chain strapped to your ankles.

I miss Andre-the-Dog so much. Found a gravy-bone under the sofa the other day and cried for an hour.

When he got too arthritic to come to work with me, I got him his own kitten, 'Woof' to keep him company in the day. I still walked him though. Woof used to come too. They slept together as well. Now Woof comes for walks with me. Am I the only person who walks their cat?

My neighbours have 2 staffs, I (and my family) have NEVER seen them walk them and they have had them for 6 years. Really boils my piss.

My dog out with my daughter, helping to clean out her stable. Straw and horse poo and probably worse!!!

My handsome little chap "Stig" and his freakishly big ears, walk him atleast once a day sometimes twice, for atleast an hour at a time.

[Boxing]

My neighbours have a fat staff. Lived here for eight, nearly nine years. Seen them walking it twice, even then it was with a relative / family friend.

Kind of sad really.

I have an American Bulldog cross Staff. My mum has a Yorkshire Terrier (nasty little thing) we walk them both at the same time. An hour - an hour and a half at a time. If the weather is nice, we take them park.

[stinkwheel]

Walk them. Least of my worries if people can't be arsed walking their dogs.

One of my clients (who I reluctantly took on from another practices area), as it turns out, had no fewer than 10 dogs under 14 months old from at least four different litters and were keeping them in their council house.

It's not a problem now though because they didn't bother their arse or have the funds to have any of them vaccinated and now they're all dead from what is probably parvo.

They want to sue me because apparently it's my fault.

Any idiot can get a dog, and many do.
