It&#...i've said it before I will say it again .<br />It's the owners that need training NOT the dogs.<br />Most dogs are not predisposed to violence unless badly treated or ill trained.<br />i am so tired of dogs being blamed for human irrisponsibility.

We spend around 5 hours a week on training (1 hour at club, 1 hour formal training, 3 hours informal). We make sure she is regularly exercised and socialised. She travels with us. She goes to dinner with us at pubs. She goes down and sits on command, stays where she is told to, and doesn't touch anything that isn't hers. Friend's kids learned her name before they learned ours while riding on her, learning to walk by scooting on her and pulling her ears (all while under very close supervision). <br /><br />I'm prepared to agree that some dogs are more predisposed to violence than others. I'm also willing to admit that the daschund I used to own was more likely to harm other people and dogs than my current dog, purely because I didn't do the right things with her. Mainly, animals respond to their owners and their environment. If you've got a dog that you're not confident in, keep them on a leash, get them the right training (mine costs us a whole 10 quid a week!) and help them.<br /><br />I'd far rather see people punished than their dogs punished because I've never met a dog that couldn't be a lovable, safe pet in the right circumstances.Anonymouslemminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04693377613554638959noreply@blogger.com
