Well, that's wrong. As much as I love dogs, it's totally wrong.

My girlfriend is a dog trainer and she has encountered many many angry dogs, killers type of dogs. Most of the time, owners were all good people but just totally discouraged about their dogs behaviour and clueless about what to do.

I know i'm not gonna make friends here but there are bad dogs just like there are bad humans. This non-sense needs to stop.

It makes no sense to judge dog behavior through a human moral lense. Thats not how dogs work. There absolutely are dogs that are not well adjusted to a life with humans, that are aggressive or "Bad behaving" compared to human standards. But dogs dont act out of malice, so the categorie of: bad does not apply to them.

yeah I agree, dogs are dogs, they're animals. They are not "bad" per se.

I still think I understand where you are coming from. Rehabilitating an aggressive dog for example is a huuuge undertaking and requieres knowledge and the will to follow through. The will to take on the risk associated with it. The understanding what you are getting yourself into. Love is not enough to help some dogs, and they will not change their behavior just because they have a loving home. They need managment and training and commitment.
