Do these comments sound familiar?

"I take her outside, and the minute we come inside she goes to the bathroom!"

"I have the most wonderful dog, but my friends won't come over anymore because my dog jumps all over them."

"He's so smart, and so cute, and we really love him, but he just about pulls my arm out of the socket every time I walk him!"

"I don't think she would ever bite anyone in our family, but I don't trust her with other people or other dogs."

"He's a part of the family now, but I've been through two carpets and three pairs of shoes because of him."

"If he's eating, or chewing on a toy, he'll growl at anyone who comes close!"

"If he's on the bed with me, and my husband tries to get in bed, he gets very aggressive.  I'm afraid he's going to bite him one day!"

Or...

"She the sweetest thing, and we love her so much, but she won't come when we call her, and if I come home to one more mess on the rug I'm just going to have to give her away!"
