    If your breed requires special training to not maul you or others to death,

    where is this indicated?

    My brother/sister in dogs: 30,000ish years ago, some fucking wolf/dingo/mongrel-mutt threw their lot in with ours. We have, mutually, benefitted enormously. I love dogs and trust a lot more of them than I do humans to do the right thing. This isn’t developed anecdotally, it’s a lifetime of dogs as part of our family, and operating around working dogs in the military. They deserve our respect, and training is one part of any dog’s life that humans need to learn. Most training isn’t for the dog, it’s for the family members.

    I’d recommend anyone with any dog go through training, whether a specific program or simply to acclimate the animal to your house (where and when we go outside and who’s food is who’s etc.,) but also to train them to react and behave in awkward situations. I’ve had toddlers lurch across the room, grab my dog’s faces and and poke at their eyes - and the toddlers got licked.

    Special training? YOU SHOULD TRAIN YOUR ANIMALS PERIOD. you wouldn’t trust a cat to behave around a toddler, a dog, a parrot (nearly lost a finger meeting a white parrot once!), hells man/ma’am…

    apply some sense to it all.

      In the fact that this keeps on happening even with experienced owners.

        it’s putting words into my mouth, I never indicated any such thing.

        want to make a point? don’t use me as your sock puppet to do it, be adult enough to make your own assertions sport.

          My brother in buddy, they weren’t putting words in your mouth. They were using outside factors to answer a question you made.

          Want to talk down to someone? How about doing it to someone without having to make erroneous assumptions and jumping the defensive gun? Be adult enough to not belittle people like this chief.

      The bullshit excuses part was rhetorical I think. You didn’t actually have to answer that part.
