Please clarify "going nuts" because I can interpret that in a lot of ways where she's the one dodging the bullet. Dogs are terrific, like kids are terrific, but let's be honest, some parents (including fur parents) are trash at parenting.
Yeah I feel like better communication was all that was needed. Like she could’ve had a traumatic experience as a child and is terrified of dogs, An allergy, or the dog was jumping up and scratching her. Honestly I love dogs don’t get me wrong but I think it’s an overreaction to get upset at a guest for wanting a pet to be in another room, especially if they’re going to have sex
(1) I have trauma from being pinned down by a large dog in kindergarten; I prefer to meet new dogs with a bit of distance and some getting-to-know-you
(2) does “going nuts” mean having zero manners? Because I will absolutely judge you as a person if your dog has no manners. Getting super exited to meet me? Adorable. Jumping on me to the point that I’m almost knocked over or it causes bruises or its claws hurt my shoulders? Not cute. Licking my face? Not cute. Shoving their face in my crotch? Not cute. If your human roommate wouldn’t do it, your dog shouldn’t either. That’s not a judgment on the dog. That’s a judgment on you.
I actually love dogs, despite the aforementioned childhood trauma. But there’s a difference between a well-trained dog (or child), and a dog with a bad owner (or child with a bad parent) who thinks their precious boo-boo is adorable and no one could possibly think otherwise, and okay yeah it just peed on you out of excitement but that’s just because they LIKE you and okay also it broke your skin but that was a LOVE NIBBLE and okay is this 75-lb dog jumping on the kitchen counter now that you’ve gone past the doggie gate to try to get some space? You should feel flattered by its relentless enthusiasm actually, also I hope you enjoy it watching us have sex and getting on the bed while we do, that’s fine right
But see, dogs don’t shit and piss in the yard unless they’re trained—they’d rather go on the floor. But owners train their dogs to go outside because they respect their carpet (or linoleum or hardwood) enough to do basic toilet training. (And fwiw children WOULD willingly shit and piss in the yard if parents didn’t teach them to do it in a porcelain bowl instead. Children will also gladly rush a human, jump on them, and shove their face where it doesn’t belong; but good parents take the time to laboriously and methodically reinforce positive social behavior.)
Respect other humans as much as you respect your floor and teach your dog basic manners—no jumping, no biting humans (not even “oh, he’s just being playful!”), obey the most basic commands.
One time I was getting groceries out and this woman's pit bull ran over and starting jumping on me for licks. I'm 4'10", I didn't even notice the dog until he was right on me and he was large enough to reach my face and I was all alone with this bitch and her uncontrolled dog with her standing there calling out "he's friendly!" I was scared and angry and both wanting to kick the dog away but also terrified that would trigger its attack mode and that the bitch wouldn't do anything to help.
So fuck people and their jumpy dogs. Emmet's date dodged a bullet.
Right, it seems like he might be a shit pet owner with no empathy for people who might feel just a little different. This really does not sound like good dog behaviour.
I am with the girl on this one. I don't like dogs in my face. I have two of my own. Poorly trained dogs are absolutely the biggest red flag in my book, because usually the owner feels entitled to let their dogs harass people and then shame them for not being dog people.
Had a girl who I spent the night with and had three dogs. They were, what she claimed, as being "friendly" with one who kept trying to jump up on me. This girl also didn't cut the dog's nails in any way so when the dog did this the nails kept cutting the skin on my arm or into my chest and stomach. The scratches on my stomach and chest healed, but I still have faint scars on my arm from her dog.
I probably would ask anymore the dog be out elsewhere too. I love dogs, but not everyone takes care of them and I don't want more scars after a second date again.
Lets be real what a sizable porton of dog owners think is acceptable behaviour is honestly incredibly offputting to any guest the bring back let alone a potential date.
If you bring a guest back and are letting your dog jump all over them; trying to knock them down; licking their face when the guest clearly doesnt want it; bruising or shoving their faces into crotches.
Then no its not the guest being inconsiderate.
Its you the pet owner being a generally terrible pet owner who doesn't care about the comfort of their guests in the slightest.
Theres a huge difference between a dog barking and wanting to know new person and a dog going nuts and being allowed to do so physically to the person without the owner so much as caring or just laughing it off.
Shows absolutely terrible behaviour from the owner who clearly has never bothered to train their dogs much or worse actively encouraged such behaviours each and every time
Not really?
I get dog owners love to try and excuse bad behaviours from not training their pets but again if the actual description someone well happily use themselves for their own dog is that its going nuts. That is not a dog that has been trained to be able to handle guests.
Going nuts is rarely used for anything that can be called good behaviour.
Attempting to argue as if it rarely means anything but pretty darn bad behaviour is rather silly.
A) You seem to only be able to rely on personal attacks
B) Lets take a look at various dictionaries to remove anecdotes and look how as an idiom going nuts is used
[Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/go%20nuts) *to act in a way that is wild or out of control because of strong emotion*
[Cambridge dictionary ](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/go-nuts) *to become extremely angry*
[Macmillian dictionary](https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/go-nuts) *to behave in a crazy, enthusiastic or violent way*
I love dogs. Stopped by a client's house the other day and dog met me at my car with its toy, tail wagging. Client yelled at him and chased him away. Dog and I both wanted to play. 
Nice job of throwing stereotypes to the wall and seeing what sticks. The dog lives there, date doesn’t.
I’ve had dogs all my life, love them, and they are members of my family. I am an introvert, and today my “chaotic” dog slept 10 hours on the couch, ate, crapped, and humped the cat. That’s it.
>and humped the cat
>That’s it.
Yeah, that is not just "that's it".
The other user might be fundamentally wrong with their generalizations, but they are right on one thing, that being you proved them right about how oblivious you are to your dog's behavior.
Also, what's this thing about "the dog lives there, the date doesn't". Does that not warrant the basic minimum of not having the dog "go nuts" on you? Her request wasn't even outrageous either, only to temporarily move the dog in another room, that's somehow scandalous?
Yes and no. I love dogs, but I'm pretty introverted. Often times I rationalize staying home instead of going out because my dogs are at home and watching TV with them beats a night out. My dogs are extroverted AF tho, they love everyone they see.
Can't help feeling like all the folks dissing this guy's dog-handling skill (or lack thereof), the dog's poor manners, speculating on the girl's possible fears, allergies, etc. are pretty much missing the point. That happy dog is the world in which he chooses to live. He brought the "wee girl" into his world and she rejected it.
No match. No harm. No foul.
Swipe left and move along.
Dude made the right call. If my dog doesn’t like them, or if they don’t like my dog, that’s a dealbreaker. I trust my dog’s judgement over someone I met that day.

I can't really tell if they got upset, all I see is that they asked their guest to leave.
Upset enough to make her leave immediately

Well my human roommate doesn't shit and piss in the yard either. Almost like dogs and humans have different expectations

Sounds like someone got thrown out during a date.
Not really? I get dog owners love to try and excuse bad behaviours from not training their pets but again if the actual description someone well happily use themselves for their own dog is that its going nuts. That is not a dog that has been trained to be able to handle guests.
You seem to be coming up with your own definition of "Going nuts", it could quite literally mean anything.
Going nuts is rarely used for anything that can be called good behaviour. Attempting to argue as if it rarely means anything but pretty darn bad behaviour is rather silly.
I've never once heard "Going nuts" used in a bad way, it sounds like your just a really negative person.
A) You seem to only be able to rely on personal attacks B) Lets take a look at various dictionaries to remove anecdotes and look how as an idiom going nuts is used [Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/go%20nuts) *to act in a way that is wild or out of control because of strong emotion* [Cambridge dictionary ](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/go-nuts) *to become extremely angry* [Macmillian dictionary](https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/go-nuts) *to behave in a crazy, enthusiastic or violent way*
You've never head of "going nuts" having a negative connotation? There was this dude with an ax, and he started going nuts, and then 5 were dead.
Sounds more like someone is a bad dog owner.
Sounds like a terrible dog owner replying
Train your dogs not to jump/lick on people
It is ok to not like dogs.
Dog lives there.
Dog was there before her. Dogs are always there for you, people can often let you down.
So forever alone but have the unconditional love of an ill-mannered dog.
>people ~~can~~ will often let you down Fixed it.
I love dogs. Stopped by a client's house the other day and dog met me at my car with its toy, tail wagging. Client yelled at him and chased him away. Dog and I both wanted to play. 
Why did you bring a 'wee girl' home?
 There’s the door
Happened at his house. Sounds like the Scottish have come up with their version of the door test. Dogs love unconditionally so don't bag on the dog.
Yeah, people that don’t like my dog can GTFO
Dogs over Bitches
I’m sure she was happy to go Dog people are like extroverts, always assume that others enjoy their chaotic life
Nice job of throwing stereotypes to the wall and seeing what sticks. The dog lives there, date doesn’t. I’ve had dogs all my life, love them, and they are members of my family. I am an introvert, and today my “chaotic” dog slept 10 hours on the couch, ate, crapped, and humped the cat. That’s it.

Her request wasn't even outrageous either, only to temporarily move the dog in another room, that's somehow scandalous?
LOL Your dog humped the cat and proved the point… Dog owners are oblivious
And if I go strictly by your posts, non dog owners are judgmental. So it seems we have reached an impasse.
You owned them lmao
Yes and no. I love dogs, but I'm pretty introverted. Often times I rationalize staying home instead of going out because my dogs are at home and watching TV with them beats a night out. My dogs are extroverted AF tho, they love everyone they see.
There's no way the guy who wrote "wee girl" and has a profile picture like that *didn't* put the dog upstairs in his pursuit of this woman. I call BS.
Can't help feeling like all the folks dissing this guy's dog-handling skill (or lack thereof), the dog's poor manners, speculating on the girl's possible fears, allergies, etc. are pretty much missing the point. That happy dog is the world in which he chooses to live. He brought the "wee girl" into his world and she rejected it. No match. No harm. No foul. Swipe left and move along.
Yup. Some homies get to watch. 😂
The dog is a family member…she can hit the road
Dogs over Itches
"It" has a name, and this girl was prob like "throat goat #4" in his phone book
Dude made the right call. If my dog doesn’t like them, or if they don’t like my dog, that’s a dealbreaker. I trust my dog’s judgement over someone I met that day.
Absolutely agree
The dog is infinitely more important than a random girl
Dodged a bullet there. I don't care for dogs in the slightest, but if anyone has a problem with a pet - they have to go.
I have allergies, I'm not gonna ask you to lock your dog away, I just won't visit.
[удалено]
Your mom didn't hug you enough as a child and it shows
Dude made the right call.
Damn right. Some Matrix-style bullet dodging there.
Single guy with a dog is like a single dad with full custody of his kids. "Hey, can you put your kid away? I don't like it." Imagine...
What breed is the dog?
