"You can't adopt adult dogs because they won't accept you as the dominant animal"

Oh gosh, that one drives me nuts! Trying to talk to a family about adopting an adult dog because they wanted a puppy, yet they wanted house broken and clam... Those are almost their exact words in response. -_-

I've gotten so much, a supposed "top professional obedience trainer" that Dakota barking while being amped and heeling is him asserting his dominance over me. I've gotten so much similar crud about "dominance" that makes zero sense.

A relative was over and I gave Dakota piece of chicken for doing a good job at practice earlier (not that he knew the difference

) he told me all about how giving a dog table scraps will make them overrule you, and that Dakota would stop working so well for me if I fed that piece of chicken to him. Loved his expression when I told him Dakota's gotten table scraps since he was a pup.

So, so many, can't think of the good ones.

On the serious side, to learn from your failures, don't let them get you down, down try to justify, accept them and try to improve from them.
