Smol Dog Owners Get Cursed for Letting Their Yappy-Do, Reactive Doggos Do Whatever They Want, Big Dogs Get Blamed Anyways (THREAD)

Training a dog is a difficult challenge, which can be even harder if you have a reactive dog. A doggo that barks, growls, and lunges at passersby is pretty much everyone's anxiety-trigger and can be super frustrating for everyone around– especially if your pup has a monstrous bark. Regardless of the size of your animal though, nobody wants to hear it borking at everybody, so why is it that smol doggo owners are notorious for never training their trigger happy yappers?

Redditors weigh in on the curse of big dogs vs. smol dogs in this thought provoking thread. Although it's obvious that a bigger dog can do more damage if it's aggressive, why is it that small dog's get a free pass to be as psychotic and rabble-rousing as possible? Even a peaceful animal would be riled up by a yapper, spiraling both pets into poor behavior, so there's really no reason that a small dog should ever be untrained. They're still your pet, you still have to mitigate their reactivity. What do you think?
