Why do people get dogs and then don't train them? I think it's because they don't know how to train them. They don't put in the time needed. And they think much of the bad behavior is the dog just being a dog. A coworker of mine has replaced her couch four times since I've known her because her dogs tear it up. She couldn't walk her two dogs together because they didn't get along etc. etc. you get the idea. She says that her dogs require so much attention and work but I don't think she realizes that if she would've put in that attention and work at the beginning she wouldn't have to now.
