Thanks NoahsMommy. My dogs name is Bob, (his registered name is Cwm Mawr Jet but it is too much of a mouthful to use. lol.)
What do I think about someone who refuses to train a dog, or have it trained? My first thought is a question. why? Anyone with any sense should realise that even with just basic training life is easier, and happier, for both dog and owner. I know some dogs can be harder to train than others (my Bob was/is harder work than any other dog I have had) but in my experience almost all dogs learn the basics pretty early, most times pretty easily too, house training and sit being the easiest. The rest may be harder and take longer but are well worth the effort and make for a happier dog and owner.
Having said that, Bob will not do recall when outside so, in order to keep in control of my dog, I have to compromise and just not let him off-leash. Some of my fellow dog owner/walkers say to me, (and make me mad) is, "go on, let him off" and things like that but I refuse. I know my dog, although friendly he is very boisterious and I do not want him to run at some child (or adult for that matter) and knock them over or frighten them, or indeed for him to run out into the road and get knocked down or get lost on the sprawling estate I live on.
So, how do I sum up on what I think of someone who won`t train their dog. At the least I think they are misguided and irresponsible
