| Re: People are so ignorant
Do people not understand that any dog banished to the back yard can turn aggressive? You are right about ignorant comments. People make them all the time. The fact that the dog is in the back yard has precisly zero to do with it turning aggressive. Many things trigger aggression but being in the back yard instead of in the house is not one of them. In reality I am called out to vaslty more problomatic dogs who live inside than out due to people spoiling such dogs and excusing their behavior. "Oh fee fee is just talking". My dogs all live in the house but I know many, many dogs who live very happy and fulfilling lives who spend the vast majority of it outside the house. Sure they will be happier living inside but this doesn't mean they are not happy because they are outside. The dog is amongst the most adaptable animals on the planet and is one of the reasons they have become our most used domesticated animal and they will be happy in almost any circumstances they are placed into. I would be much happier living on a tropical island, sipping magaitas and working on my tan all day. The fact that I can't do this doesn't make me unhappy with what I have now.
I know this is off topic.
