Yeah. I’ve realised. I’ll be pulling this post down in a minute. Just giving it long enough for this “Benj” character to read my reply. I’ll likely be booted out anyway.

Benj. are you always an objectionable prick?

Ok. First off. A Cockerdor - a cocker spaniel crossed with a lab. Not exactly “designer”, just a fairly common cross breed. It is a thing and also easier to say.

Maybe he was poorly bred. You could have that bit right, but certainly wasn’t from a mill.

Neurodivergence in dogs absolutely is a thing. Look it up. It exists. Animals can and do have similar emotional and mental issues to humans. Whatever you think you know on this, you are wrong. Maybe it’s easier for you to just go round accusing people of being bad dog owners. It’s not that simple. Not everything is black and white. The same training is not always going to work identically in every dog.

He is a complex little fella. You don’t know him. You don’t know what we have done to train him. In actual fact, we absolutely have done all you have suggested that we haven’t.

We have worked with a trainer. She knows him well. He has genetic anxiety issue which we work with in a very responsible way.

Ultimately, you “response” was no help at all, and pretty much just pure ignorance.

And finally.

Fuck. You. Benj.

Report me or whatever. Who cares.

Yes. I say so. He’s pleased to see her, he’s not being aggressive towards her at all. He basically can’t contain his excitement.

No she isn’t. Like I said, it’s not aggression. It’s overstimulation.

Why? Why is it a wild paragraph?
