Dogs should be walked every day where age, health and behaviour (genuine fear) allow.

The sun doesn't shine out of working breeders backsides, they are equally guilty of bad breeding practices as other factions.

A form follwing A function is not an adequate reason for breeding unrecognisable dogs of registered breeds..

There's nothing wrong with reprimanding a dog if it's appropriate, the world is not pink and fluffy and purely positive training is a load of bull crap.

Agree with all these.

Especially the 100% positive thing. One of the reason kids run riot these days is due to this 100% positive rubbish with no consequences/reprimands. I expect that is also one of the reasons we see so many badly behaved dogs.

Is'nt the 2nd kind of a sweeping statement?
Personally id agree with that as I believe a good quality food will provide all the goodness a dog needs.

But no two dogs are alike.

Well the thread title is 'Unpopular opinions'....that is one of my unpopular opinions. IMO they are a waste of money.

Well you did ask

No dog should have its tail cut off.

Training dogs to kill other animals deadens peoples empathy with living beings.

Everyone has the right to obtain a dog (or other animal) from any legal source.

All animals deserve respect.

Sometimes the best place to be is dead.

Tail docking shouldn't have been banned. I like traditionally docked breeds docked.

Docking shouldn't be used as a euphamism for cutting a body part off.

(unpopular opinion!)

Labrador's aren't the perfect family dog (I say this as a proud Lab owner)

Staffordshire bull terriers aren't Nanny dogs it's a myth

There is such a thing as a bad dog.

There is no such thing as Total Positive training.

I agree with the bit on bold too.

What are my unpopular opinions,

Nothing wrong with dogs in the bed.

Nothing wrong with dogs on the furniture.

Nothing wrong with me sharing my food with my dogs.

Most dogs dont need a crate.

I dont believe being 100% positive always works.

Nothing wrong with calling your dog baby boy, little man, cutie pie, little girl or anything else you wish to call them.

I dont beleive in docking tails or cutting ears.

Im sure there are loads more I just cant think of them at the mo
