If you are a dog lover, this might come as a shock, but not everyone loves dogs. In fact, some people downright despise dogs.

Dog lovers are never going to change the minds of everyone. Certain people are going to keep hating dogs no matter what. However, some non-dog-lovers might be swayed if they see that dogs can actually be wonderful animals.

How can dog lovers change opinions? Start by being responsible dog owners and respecting others. Have good manners and teach good manners to your dogs. If dog owners choose not to be responsible and respectful, then it only gives dogs and their owners a bad name.

Most dog lovers can admit that certain dogs and their owners are infuriating. There are some good reasons why some people really don’t like dogs, and it usually comes down to things the owner does (or doesn't do). Are you guilty of any of these offenses?
