Why does my boyfriend have a pet peeve of me spoiling my dog/pets?


I've lived with dogs my entire life and I also lived on a farm with a lot of cows, horses, goats, et cetera. So, I consider myself a dog enthusiast. Yet, there is a limit to how much you should spoil an animal before it becomes overkill and enabling poor behavior.
A lot of dog owners can be severely annoying when it comes to that. Sure, you should be affectionate with your dogs but you should also know how to properly train them to ensure a balance in the household. Just because someone doesn't condone your behavior doesn't make them "hate" dogs. Letting a dog run the household just because you love them is idiotic in my opinion. I've been to households, usually female dog owners, where the dog absolutely ran the household and got away with all sorts of awful behavior. Calling them out on it makes someone a "dog hater" apparently.
I have a close friend whose dog is practically her "daughter" or princess. In her opinion, all her ex (plural) who kept a good relationship with her got obsessed of her weighted love for the dog and not to them (the guys even when some of them have dogs/pets or called themselves dog lovers) therefore led to the broke up.
Communication and acceptance or acknowledgement are important. For instance, if you really like this person you should really discuss rationally about how this relationship is going to work (with the dog/pet as part of the family). Minor Jealousy is fine but don't make this a drama to fight over lol.
You give the dog food from your plate and forcing your wishes on him to do the SAME is annoying to him. Let him eat his food in peace.
Love your dog as much as you want but don't get others involved unnecessarily. Imagine your dog just had his meal but your partner came back home from a long hard day, he's hungry and he earned his food then suddenly you telling him to share 1/4th of his food to a dog who will never stop demanding is very unfair. People too deserve to eat their meal peacefully.
You think your boyfriend wants to kiss you after you French kiss your dog? Or after you kiss your dog after it has just finished licking it's privates?
You should see all the people who kiss their dog on the mouth.

I’ve heard on americas most wanted about boyfriends who are jealous of their girlfriends pets, but it could also be a money issue and not a jealousy issue, maybe he doesn’t like you spending your money on something that is not human, because it could be spent on you instead.
Your dog is sooooo cuteeee! 🥺🥺🥺 I glad to hear that (talking about the update). To be honest, I'd spoil that little cutie too, if he was mine. 😍
A little bit of jealousy which is find as long as he deals with it in a healthy way. Dog are an emotional creation needed by a lot people to deal with the ups and downs in life. Spoiling your dog is a healthy way to award him/her for all the support she/he give you though out the day. Tell your boyfriend to get over it because the dog is here to stay and besides she/he knows ALL my inner secrets do you?
Very cute dog.
Your little doggy is cute. I have a black and white one. 😍 I wouldn't worry about your boyfriend not sharing his food. In fact, I'd advise against sharing too much have your food, it's really not good for them. I just give my Zoey a tiny little piece of burger or something when I've finished. As long as your dog is well behaved, then I think what you're doing he's probably fine.
You’re dog is so so cute
@annabananna She's my favorite little girl. 🥰
Maybe he's not a pet person or believes the dog should eat dog food
Im personally not a pet person so i wouldn't be kissing someone who jus kissed on an animal
It’s really annoying when someone’s attention and affection is on an animal that they live with and not on the person that came to spend time with them. Just give him more affection
Yep, if you don't like pets, then you may just not be the one for me.
Who couldn't like a fur butt?
I think sometimes I like them better than people.
some people hate dogs.
So your your boyfriend and dog fall off a boat and you can save only one of them , which do you save? You have had dog longer.
that is not the choices. One not two. Come on lets have a decision. You must make a quick decision or you lose both.
That's not the question. It's how much money going to Pakistan for gender studies? Get off the Democrat shit hole mentality.
Look at it this way. You are going to break up. Even if you married, fuck all. Likely you get divorced. Who's lives do you care about?
There's a fine line between loving your dog and being a crazy dog lady.
Maybe, maybe, he's a liberal douche. Can't have pets being spoiled. Cantz do it. You cannot spoil them, you must give your money to other 3rd world shit hole countries before you can even think about having scraps. Can't live in a world where you don't take care of our country first.
Because he's jealous. Lots of giving attention to something else besides the one that think they deserve it think they should have it. All of it.
Because spoiling a pet is bad for the same pet's health, and a danger to true aspects of Chugi aka Duty and Loyalty from the Code of Bushido.
Ahhh, Karen loves her dog
Tbh you kinda give your dog a little too much attention.. there's a dog in this question... there's a dog in your profile pic.. oh look at your cover pic... Surprise!.. it's a dog
Maybe it’s the way you act all goofy putting the dog on your lap kissing the dog over and over making silly sounds or maybe he’s just jealous or maybe he doesn’t like dogs that much
There may just be a little jealousy going on. Especially if he sees you loving and doting on your dog more than him.
Your dog is adorable and he shouldn't get mad it makes no sense that you can't show your affection
@xjayleenx I want dog just like yours he is so sweet
Pets can get annoying, especially if they aren’t yours. Some people show affection to animals more than others. That’s just my opinion.
I love dogs, but I don't spoil them.
The high-pitched lovey-dovey talk which they can't understand is pretty annoying 😂 They know commands, not speech.
My dogs only listen to high pitch lovey Dover. Will not obey to any other voice lol
Feeding your dog human food tends to lead to behavioral problems
Kissing dogs is fucking disgusting. You are also kissing your boy with that mouth. No wonder he is pissed at you. Get a clue and put the mutt away.
Kissing anything in general is disgusting but you don't have to be a dick about it.
Technically dogs mouths are cleaner than humans.
Because he wants you to spoil him and not waste your money on pet things.
Either he is jealous that the dog maybe getting more affection than he is ( gosh I hope not) or he isn't an animal lover
Depends what environment the dog is in. Do you continually walk it daily? What do you feed it?
jealousy... your boyfriend wants ALL of you attention
Maybe he thinks your dog gets more affection than him, lol.
Because you are with the dog and he’s alone.
Pet ty issues brown out of proportion.
I wonder if he's jealous 😲
Your dogs adorable he deserves those treats
He’s jealous of the affection you give your dog
I had an ex that would get jealous of my dog.
Wtf? Why? Coz he sat in your lap more than he could? Lol
Lol who knows
You mean your future EX-boyfriend...
Maybe he wants that attention too
he is not an animal lover
Looks like a little Ewok

Dogs are stupid that’s why
Jealous.
That's just weird.
afraid for health
