I used to have a beautiful rottweiler, he was abused when he was younger so he was a damaged soul, but we took him in and shown him heaps oif love and he got better over time, but because he was such a big ‘scary looking’ dog, people would shriek when they saw him bouncing around the corner, their shreiking would freak my rotty out, which in turn caused him to panic and bark his head off, which in turn caused the shreiker to start screaming their head off, which in turn caused my rotty to start barking and growling and wondering what on earth was going on!

Dogs themselves are never the problem, it’s the owners that are the problem. Even things like Rotties and Pit-Bulls aren’t naturally nasty, it’s just that evil cunts (who are actually little fucking pussies) buy them to be a 4 legged weapon – I hate everyone that does that and would happily hose the fucking lot of em down with machine gun fire!

Yeah man like 95% of dogs aren’t naturally evil nasty fuckers that will tear your face off, it’s cause they are abused for their whole life and taught to hate humans other then their owners. It’s disgusting how people can do that to animals but that’s the society we live in so.
Some dogs can suffer from Rage Syndrome though, which is where they have bouts of rage and will attack anyone even their owners but they don’t know it happens and don’t do it on purpose. Quite prevalent among golden cocker spaniels (Of which I have one.. she’s lovely though.)

No worries man, worth reading up on/knowing about, especially if you or anyone you know is thinking of getting a Cocker/Springer spaniel and has kids. Don’t know if it effects other breeds though.
A bit of a late response and not really relevant to where the thread’s at now but I’m going to chip in about this anyway. I’ve heard of this so called ‘rage syndrome’ and no it isn’t only breeds of spaniels that are susceptible to it. Fairly common unfortunately amongst border collies too. But also people forget (or are ignorant to the fact) that canines, like most animals really, can develop mental disorders such as Autism. So abuse is not always, but usually, the cause of behavioural problems. Sometimes it comes down to the animals perception of the world. Where as a human with Autism can try and communicate their needs and the source of anxiety, an animal can not communicate in the same way. When these specialist needs are not met, both in humans and animal, inevitably frustration and fear are the end product.
