Dogs give us all their love and affection, but what are some people giving them in return? Dog shaming. Dogs don't deserve that, but we can't say the same for some guardians:

These actually brought tears to my eyes because it implies that people are learning to be better to their animal companions and that behaviors that were once standard are being recognized as substandard. It's a cute way to express the regret for former behavior while celebrating the upgrades! And some are hilarious: "I let the biscuit jar run out," and "I made him wear cute outfits." There's no abuse happening, here! These are beloved pets.

Im not a dog owner, but reading all these made me think about my first cat. I used to spank him when he bit me instead of understanding what he was really trying to say to me with those bites! I know better now with my current cat. I have never and will never raise my hand to my dear cat. I understand what boundaries not to cross and what those bites mean if I do.

My huskies actually love their crates, they will go in them and lay down even when they don't need to be in there, it's "den" mentality, they feel safe. When I leave them out of their crates if I go somewhere it makes them nervous. Knowing my dogs, I think a crate can be an okay thing. If your dog absolutely and obviously hates it then yes, then it should be looked at as negatively impacting your dog. Not mine though, they love theirs.

These things wouldn't have happened initially if the dogs had been loved - too sad to be funny :(

I think this is really great. The dog shaming is meant to be funny. This is funny as well, but I think in a much more positive way. Some people seem to forget the role they play in their animal's behavior.

I agree with DogLover. I mean, the lady who kept the dog in a crate all day broke my heart, but I didn't know dog treats were a requirement in order to be a good pet owner. I don't even have a "biscuit jar" because I hardly ever give my pets treats (it tends to upset their digestion) so I must be ultra-cruel? You can't always take your pets with you where ever you go. I hope no one changes their minds about adopting a homeless pet because of these. Pet need love, not perfection.

There are so many pets that don't have homes. Don't make the requirements for being a good owner unatainable. Many vets, myself included, advocate crate training. Running out of cookies isn't a crime - to humans or dogs. After the 720th time my dog stops to pee on a walk, i give her a tug. I love animals, but according to your standards, I am cruel. This is silly.
