A dog trainer named two breeds of dogs whose owners are not prepared for their behavior. People who buy a puppy don't research the breed well.
Some breeds of dogs are much more likely to be seen in the trainer's sessions because of their undesirable behavior.
Some people call them naughty, "bad boys," but a professional trainer has a slightly different opinion on this matter.
Cocker Spaniel and Cane Corso are the breeds that dog trainer Will Atherton from the UK meets most often. According to him, the owners of these pets are not ready for their level of activity and sometimes aggression.
But the matter may be not only that the animals are quite demanding, but also in the poor study of the breed by people who are just going to get a puppy, the expert believes.
Cocker Spaniel
The dog trainer named two dog breeds whose owners are not ready for their behavior. People who buy a puppy do not study the breed well.
There are two different types of cocker spaniels: working and show. The names make it clear that they are bred for different purposes, but people who buy a puppy may miss this point. Therefore, working cockers may be unfairly reputed as dogs with worse behavior.
Such dogs are bred for hunting, they can spend all day in the field, and are also suitable for those people who prefer outdoor activities and various hikes.
"Owners bring in this dog bred to do work, including working in the field all day, and expect it to be a house dog and a diligent social media dog," said Will Atherton.
Because of this approach, the pet is overly active, constantly barking, twitching, and demonstrates a "terrible memory" when it comes to learning something, the trainer said. However, if you give the Cocker Spaniel the necessary physical activity, it will be a very affectionate, gentle and calm dog.
Cane Corso Italiano

Another breed of dog whose representatives become Will Atherton's wards again and again. Again, it's because the owners are not ready to meet all the needs of the pet, which is why it shows the worst behavior.
The Cane Corso Italiano was bred for protection. It is unlikely to be suitable for an inexperienced breeder or someone who is not ready to devote enough time and effort to raising the dog.
The Cane Corso Italiano is an excellent and intelligent guardian, and this fact does not mean that the pet cannot be gentle and affectionate.
