I sympathise, but the cliché is not strictly true. Nature is all about diversity. Just like humans have a certain ratio of “bad apples” born where someone is hard wired wrong, so do dogs, and likely all animals.
Psychopathology is real. It would be a mistake to deny Nature it’s agency. There are people who belong in an institution. Dogs perhaps moreso.
To your point, yes most problems are attributable to bad trainers, but even here there is something missing. Bad breeders - natural reproduction would select for fitness, and truly bad dogs would be limited to a small fraction of background instances. We have lots of people actively breeding killers with outsized agression and fear and ferocity, with hair triggers, on purpose. I’m not talking about guard dogs where fierce protective instincts are balanced with loyalty and bonding and intelligence. I mean literal psychokillers.
I’m circling around Pit-Bulls and the like, but I need to be clear. The breed is fine. Some of my best friends are pit bulls. Diversity naturally makes most of them good dogs, just more context dependant and trainer demanding. I’m not talking about those. I’m only referring to a small subset that were overbred and the natural background level of freakshow.
If you’ve only known pets from reputable breeders, accidental litters or the shelter rescues, understand that these select for the good dogs. If that’s all you know, you would have reason to doubt that bad dogs are possible.


Fine. Winning lottery numbers then. I can ponder the depths of the other ineffable questions from a beach with a tasty beverage somewhere nice.


How does one get grants for this type of research? Asking for a friend.


Not all. There are some bad boys out there.


Winning lottery numbers for next draw. When will humanity go extinct? Where are the nearest 1 billion species with near human level intelligence or greater. How do we safely and conveniently travel faster than light.
So many to choose.


You sure you want that?


Biometrics are a username not a password. Authentication is not authorization. This sounds like trying to stop man in the middle attacks with something susceptable to man in the middle attacks.
Maybe I’m just not getting the idea.


With your Barber’s consent, anything is possible. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


Not a Barber but my Barber loves me, and I him. You are a posable manequin meant to hold a position. They will gently guide your head to the desired position whenever a change is required. Gently acquiesce. Tip generously.


Sorry, I’m all out of heroine.


Being “The One” is like being in love. No one can tell you you’re in love, you just know it, balls to bones.
This is where I say "Hmmm that’s interesting.
That’s when you say…
Curious. I love you and I never even met you.
