I'm amazed at how many people have the wrong idea...

Jesus . . . no leash law? That's crazy. I didn't know that even existed in residential areas.

You keep talking about dogs that are not trained. All the people in these cases where a dog bites someone the owner is a casual dog owner and knows nothing about dogs and just have them for fun.
When you train a dog properly there is no Territorial issues or dogs snapping at each other, everything is in harmony when things are done right. These dogs you keep mentioning have serious mental problems, it sounds funny but it's true and it can happen when they don't know who is in control of their life from the owner. I agree the dogs are big and hard to control when they go after a person but it's the owners fault when this happens.

What kind of weapon?
So you assume a customer of yours will take the time to train a dog they just got referred to? Unless you gave them informational pamphlets. Did you give them informational pamphlets?
Actually different species of dog will act and react differently no matter how much you want them not to. Centuries of being breed by man has made them behave the way they were required to.

Your statement is not true. You cannot eliminate territorialism in a dog. You can train them to suppress it but you cannot say "there are no issues". Any male dog, when the female is in heat, will be aggressive in keeping you away from her. How they go about it will vary by breed and individual dog but what you are saying is flat out untrue. You can train behaviour into a dog but you cannot train the dog out of the dog. Frankly, I don't see why anyone would even want to do that.
Even a beagle will have the urge to protect its territory no matter how well trained.

Uh oh . . . :'( I tried to warn you away from these extreme positions Tommy, and now look what you've done. ;D
