While that may be very true, most dogs owners do NOT obedience train their pets, be they Yorkies or Rottweillers.

Obedience train your dog. Make your life and the lives of those around you, not to mention your dog's life easier.

Excellent point, one that bears repeating.

It should also be pointed out that while an improperly trained little dog is just an annoyance, an improperly trained large dog (of *any* breed) can be dangerous. People who own large dogs need to take their responsbility seriously.

And come to think of it, the same is true of people who raise children... A poorly raised child is far more likely to become an adult who is some sort of danger to themselves or others.
