I disagree with you here, You know I work in a groomers and we have a few come in and dogs do act differently with strangers so the dogs that are misbehaving in your workplace might just feel out of place, It can be scary being groomed for them so many do act differently, like when a dog goes to a vet they can pick up on nerves etc so they do act differently.

I dont agree with you saying they should change being suited to be with children, I strongly believe no matter what breed of dog you have if they are brought up to respect animals then it shouldnt be a problem. I think that a dog is what the owners make it.

I'm not 100% sure but wasn't a Labradoodle bred as a guide dog? Someone confirm that for me! They are very intelligent dogs and the coat is better than a normal labs coat for allergy suffers
