I’m a dog groomer and strongly dislike a breed that doesn’t seem to understand potty training – they’re ‘little demons’
IF you don’t want to deal with constant clean-ups, a dog groomer has called out which canine is not for you.
They have named and shamed one breed that is in need of some behavioral help.
Redditor Eosred did not hold back on their feelings about Fido.
“To be completely honest, there’s a couple breeds that I’m not a fan of, but this is from a groomer’s point of view,” they said.
They shared which pooch is number one on their list of difficult dogs.
“Cocker Spaniels are demonic,” they said.
“There are a few good ones that I see here and there but as a whole, they are little demons who don’t seem to understand potty training and just pee and poo wherever they want.”
Others agreed with their assessment of the animal’s attitude.
“I have a Cocker Spaniel and I can confirm they are demonic without an excessive amount of exercise,” said one Redditor.
“But once we tire her out, she’s an angel,” they continued.
“As someone who has a Cocker Spaniel mix, they are such ignorant b***ards to train,” said another user.
“My girl hasn’t had a potty accident in years, but she is so neurotic and you can’t tell her anything,” they continued.
“She was my first dog – and is also mixed with a toy Aussie – so I was far from prepared.”
The Cocker Spaniel is an energetic sporting dog according to the American Kennel Club.
These canines are big fans of playtime and brisk walks.
They can also be trained to be athletic companions.
The popular breed is known for its variety of coats and speedy gait.
And that wasn’t the only breed they had beef with.
“Doodles are not smart dogs,” they said.
“So many people say they are because they are bred from two very intelligent dogs, but honestly, you put two smarts together and you get a not-so-smart,” they continued.
They certainly didn’t seem to be a match for more laidback pet parents.
“Doodles are a breed that you have to constantly work with or they get out of control and become uncontrollable and crazy,” they said.
Signs your dog could turn dangerous
Expert advice from Dr. Sara Ochoa, who has been practicing veterinary medicine for over five years.
Ochoa told The U.S. Sun observing a dog’s behavior can provide clues that they might act out.
“A dog that looks tense all over with its fur sticking up or teeth showing is more likely to snap,” she said.
“Staring real hard without blinking could mean trouble too.
“Growling is also a warning the dog is getting mad.”
She said dogs may tuck their tail between their legs when they feel scared or threatened.
“Staying calm and keeping space may help things not to escalate if a dog seems on edge,” she said.
