Read my last sentence, I'm not talking about all owners. I'm talking about her and so-called shitty experience. That's what I'm basing my opinion on about her. I don't care about other owners. I think it's flat out retarded to label them all evil based on your shitty experience. End of story.

And with enough training and patience you can absolutely control how your dog acts outside. Sometimes, yes...shit happens. Can go either way, but I don't believe it's 50/50.

I already said I didn't agree with her comment.

I'm actually in the process right now of getting a dog and just within my own research and experience... every dog is different. Some more aggressive than others. You have some that are labeled territorial guard dogs and then them that are gentle family dogs. Why? They're different, and they have their own personalities. I initially did want a Dachshund, but they're hard to train and not good with strangers or children. If someone who has a Dachshund hasn't successfully warmed their dog up to kids and strangers.. that doesn't make them a shitty pet owner, because, at home they may treat, train, entertain.. do all the right things. There are certain times when JJB members will post about what a hard time they're having. It doesn't make them shitty. Dogs will be dogs sometimes and run after people or little animals. You can look at the owner all the time and be like "you're shit!"
