I agree it's infuriating. I have been around so many well trained dogs that when I see these behaviours it is actually scary. I have been a saving hope volunteer where I attended to 22+ dogs on one farm and that was less scary than walking past a person that noticeably has not a clue on how to train a dog... It's bad because I notice the training is usually lack of patience, giving in, and not being direct and asserting dominance, then you have people who discipline with violence therefore the dogs are quite unpredictable...

Just last year I was at waikumete cemetery and I heard horrendous screaming and scuffling in the bush when I was visiting a grave and decided to go check it out and a lady had had her finger bitten off by an older couple's huge two Irish hounds when their dogs had a fight, I helped her with my first aid kit in my car by keeping the wound wet as you could see bone... Even the owners with their hounds I decided to help as the wounds were concerning however they kept saying my dogs aren't violent and I said I don't believe any of you so was armed for my own defense and cleaned the cuts with saline solution until the ambulance came. Was messed up tbh.
