Why are dog owners today so irresponsible?

It seems like dog owners today totally don’t care about how their rude, nasty dogs affect other people. I don’t know about you, but I am so tired of hearing the dog up the street bark all day long. Whenever my kids and I go to the park, we see piles of dog poo even though there are signs asking people to clean up after their dogs AND baggies for that purpose are provided for free! Also, even though dog owners are required to leash their dogs, none of them bother to do that.

We can’t even go to the orchard without having to put up with someone’s bratty dog. There was this lady sitting in the picnic area with a dog that barked and barked nonstop while other people were just trying to enjoy their strawberry sundaes.

So what is up with dog owners today? Why aren’t they being responsible for their dogs and teaching them proper doggy manners?
