    Font - Freyhna · 6 days ago "Oh but I don't mind" there is a reason I don't want my dog to jump up on you and you allowing it/inviting her to do it is undermining me, my training, and confusing my dog. Ultimately I get to choose what behaviors are acceptable for my dog and jumping up on people is not one of them. This is for the ultimate safety of my dog and those around me. I have many small children and my grandparents in my life and it is dangerous for everyone involved if my 65lb muscular wo

    Doggo owners everywhere can likely relate to this interesting comment. Doggo owners are the only ones responsible for the training and behavior of their doggos, and when other humans come in to the mix, doggos can get very confused about what is appropriate behavior.

    Hair - Green_Fabulous · 6 days ago From an animal rescue perspective, "They're the perfect family to adopt, they have a BIG yard!" Not necessarily, having a big yard or a big house don't qualify anyone as a good dog owner.

    "They're the perfect family to adopt, they have a BIG yard!"

    Font - whoiamidonotknow · 6 days ago "That dog NEEDS a big yard!" No, what that dog needs is physical exercise and/or a job to do. The majority of people I've met with big yards use those yards as an excuse to neglect their high energy, working breed dog. The poor dog gets stuck in what's essentially a large cage.

    Font - Mythion · 6 days ago · edited 6 days ago "He/she just won't stop going in the house or eating things, we have to get rid of him/her, just not a good dog" 100% of the time comes from people who haven't taken a single second to train their dog. Disgusting
