Do all French
people wear onions around their neck. Do all Australians wear cork
screws on their hats? Of Course not.
If I ask you what is
the most dangerous dog in America you would probably say Pitbull,
Rotweiler, Staff or German Shepherd. But that is completely false. The
most dangerous dogs in America are Labradors! "Why?" do you ask. Simply
because there are more of them.
All dogs come from
and think like Wolves. Any dog can bite and will bite if put in the
wrong situation. Depending on the dogs personality some are more prone
than others such as some have nervous aggression. Which makes them
aggressive simply because they are scared which most animals including
humans would do in the same situation.
I have washed Staff’s
for six years and never been bitten
or met one who was not soft and gentle and loving. Of course as I have
already said that’s not to say a Staff won’t bite because they would.
But they have real reasons such as defending their den, pack, themselves
or over food. But for a wolf this is just nature. Dogs live in our human
world and we expect them to act like modern humans but the dogs still
act like wild wolves.
Remember any dog can
bite but any dog can be as gentle as a butterfly as well. It all depends
on the personality of the dog and the situation us humans put them in.
Does anyone know where the idea that we must walk our dogs
everyday comes from? The concept of dog walking has many potential
starting points- King Charles, Victorian promenades, the Blitz, more
leisure time etc, but since when have we been told that it is necessary?
We have had dogs for thousands of years without doing it and without the
problems we can have today. Cesar Milan says we must do it for hours, yet
Jan Fennell says we don't have to do it at all. Who is right and why?
It is the 5th
