honestly this is going to be controversial but after our dad told us quite a few stories about smaller dog actively trying to provoke and bite his lab mix (uve heard of him) to the point an incident happened that made him way more on edge around other dogs since... we think that we need to start to be more critical of small dog owners who dont train them because if a big lab mix like our sweet big boy meant to actually hurt their dog for growling and trying to attack him trust us we would not let our sweet boy be put down because some idiot did not train their dog to not actively attack other dogs because they think its ok cause their dog is small. train ur small dog cause even a generally gentle and well trained bigger dog (like our dad's lab mix) can snap if provoked enough.
#canções do rei#sorry were fuming about what our dad told us about this guy just letting his three smaller dogs try to gang up on our sweet big boy#now hes way more skittish around other dogs and bit two one today#and no none of those two dogs got hurt he just grabbed them and shook them then dropped them#we know its a trauma response and want to work through it#for his safety and the safety of other dogs#but its awful to think that it all goes back to one guy who didnt train his dogs and just expected ours to be calm all through all that#even tho the poor thing was terrified according to our dad who was there#idk its just frustrating to see how this guy's neglect of his dogs affected our dog by traumatizing him#we will delete this later#and if u read this: dont u fucking dare say anything mean about our lab mix hes been sweet to everyone including all other dogs#even ones that were mean to him up until that incident him becoming more aggressive as a trauma response isnt his fault#and we want to put him in a dog hotel that has trainers for a bit to see if we can at least find a management plan for this issue#why a dog hotel? cheaper than hiring a trainer to go home#plus we can visit him there anyway if he needs us for comfort if hes nervous#hes still very good with people just more on edge with other dogs so having trainers who know better how to deal with this around will help#hopefully
