I'll never understand why a !#%!#head dog like this is "funny" or "adorable". This is why half the population hates dogs: they think they're naturally obnoxious beasts. They're mostly just allowed to be that, tho. I'll take a well-trained stable ADULT dog any day. A dog who makes the uninitiated LIKE dogs.

Dogs have their own personalities, and they aren't robots. I have 4 dogs, and the one I mentioned is a great dog, she's just got a puppy personality. She doesn't attack anyone and she doesn't jump on people or slobber on them. She's just fun and playful. I guess if you are predisposed to not like dogs, it might be hard to understand.

This wasn't directed at your dog, but that statement from the article (and I've seen previous articles about it).

I'm an animal lover, and I know they have personalities, but they can almost all be curbed to be manageable and LIKABLE. I don't like an animal who destroys my house, and there's no reason to put up w/it as "just another personality". I believe in discipline - and that dogs not only should, but can be managed, regardless of basic personality. They are much, much better companions when taught manners.
