[quote=Anonymous]The problem is that most dogs are really dumb. So you might want your dog to bark at intruders but it also means it barks constantly at your 2 yr old grandchild whenever she visits and as a result you don't get to see your grandchild very often AND she's now terrified of dogs.

Or if you train your dog to bark at intruders maybe this means you can't take them to public parks or patios or whatever because they will loudly bark at crowds of people enjoying the park or having a beer.

I don't care if people's dogs bark in their own homes (though I might if I'm a neighbor and it's constant) and while I don't love dogs that bark at me as I walk past, that's life. But I get really annoyed at people who are like "My dog is antisocial, it's great!" and then get mad when that antisocial behavior impacts their ability to interact with the rest of the world. If you want people to visit you, or to be a blessing to take your dog to public places, you have to train your dog to chill the eff out around other people.

If this is hard for you, don't get a dog. It's not a life requirement.[/quote]
