I’m a dog trainer – there are six breeds I will never own including one that’s ‘like trying to train a stuffed animal’
A DOG trainer has shared the six breeds that she would never own owing to her professional experiences with the dogs.
More than 48 million households in the United States own a dog, making the four-legged animals the most popular household pets in America.
The woman behind the account told her followers “not to get hurt” by her opinions.
The first breed she would never own herself is a Siberian Husky, which was originally bred for sled pulling.
She jokingly appealed directly to the breed in the video.
She said “please stop making noise. Training you I impossible. Stop talking back please.”
Kiley (@kis_k9) is a professional trainer, and shares tips, tricks, and educational videos on dog training on her TikTok account.
Her videos have amassed over 240,000 likes.
Next, Kiley shared that she would never own a Beagle.
“Mindless. Like trying to train a stuffed animal” she went as far as to say.
Next on her hit list was the Australian Cattle Dog.
Originally bred for droving cattle over long distances and rough terrain, Kiley said they have “infamously problematic behaviors.”
She warned owners that they would “need to work a lot” if they were to train one themselves.
Pugs, who are known for being sociable and gentle companion dogs, were also a big no-no for Kiley.
“You can’t breathe, I can’t do anything with you, you have health issues from having flat faces,” she said.
Pugs are a popular breed in the US, with celebrity owners including Billy Joel, Anna Faris, and Paris Hilton.
Next up was the Chow Chow.
The breed, which can cost up too $2,000, has become increasingly popular in recent years.
“I’m just not a fan. Cat-like dogs are not my jam. You have a weird purple tongue lol,” Kiley said.
Lastly, Kiley said that she would never own an Akita.
The dogs, which originate from the northern regions of Japan, are “genetically aggressive,” according to the trainer.
Akitas have been known to attack humans, with a number of attacks making headlines in recent years.
