There's no bad dogs, just bad owners....
Not many couples in their 70s/80s can handle training a dog correctly.
But most 80 years olds also can't handle being US president, but Biden won't let a little thing like the inevitable and totally normal effects of aging stop him from being president!
And they won't let competitive primaries stop him either, that's why the DNC took all of NH primary delegates away as punishment for voting progressive the last two elections.
And before some idiot claims NH Dem party should have violated state election law to benefit Biden like him and the DNC demanded...
Just because trump is a giant piece of shit. Doesn't mean anything Biden does is automatically acceptable.
Have some fucking standards.
Commander's previous owners should be banned from owning pets since he was a rescue.
Or the Bidens could have been realistic about their ability.
Maybe on the 20th time it bit when of their servants?
What makes you think the president doesn't have a full time person training dogs and handing the day to day house shit? Do you think he vacuumed and made the bed this morning?
And there are plenty of asshole dogs with food owners. Need to stop that tired line.
Biden defenders really that divorced from reality these days?
But forget all that, why did Biden keep putting the health and safety of his servants over this dog you're saying he didn't spend any time with...
Like, that makes it even worse he waited so long bro, him not spending any time with the dog makes it worse
I'm sure the dog was much much better off in the shelter than at the White House.
Yeah, abused dogs love busy places with a rotating staff of strange men...
It's not like Biden could have cut a check for a $500 donations and helped animals more than putting this one in an environment that was dangerous for the dog and humans.
He's not actually staying in the Whitehouse anymore and hasn't in a long time 🤦♂️
And it took 24 Secret Service agents being bit...
Like the part I quoted, there's likely a lot more staff who got bit but didn't have to document like secret service does.
Wouldn't a rational person have taken him out of there after the first dozen?
Really way sooner, but 24 is so outrageous even half of it still sounds crazy.
It's weird that you are pretending a person that obviously had staff was the only caretaker of the pup.
It's also obvious that it would take a while to determine if a reactive dog is not making behavioral improvements.
So which was it?
It was his dog he spent time with like he said?
Or it was a dog that had special White House staff most of the time?
If he never spent time with it, why stick an abused rescue dog in a hectic environment creating danger for everyone involved? If it was just to humanize Biden for votes, doesn't this throw all that out the window and show he lied?
No matter how much you all try to have everything both ways, it doesn't work out with logic.
You can't just define reality as whatever makes your team look best in the moment, keep that stupid shit on the Republican side
I don't know how much time he spent with the animal.
If he was doing the right thing, he probably hired a trainer that works with reactive dogs. That's not an instant process.
It is a hectic environment, so it was probably difficult to narrow down the dogs specific triggers.
You don't seem like you've ever worked with anxious or reactive animals.
Oh so they did get a lot of different people in trying to find a solution, thought so
