I'm the one who voted, "yes, but against my will."  I like dogs but the three my roommate has drives me nuts.  They are really not well disiplined.   Dogs need to be disiplined otherwise they try to lead or take charge of the pack  --meaning you.

One of the differences between dogs and cats is, dogs give you positive attention before you take care of them, where cats give you positive attention after you take care of them.  A part of taking care of dogs is putting them in there proper place within the pack  --especially if they were not well displined or in an enviroment, when puppies, which fits within your and/or a normal environment.  That is true with all pets, but more so for dogs.  On the other hand I've found with cats I've had in the past, just need to be shown they depend on you in the slightest way and they adore you, after you take care of them......

And so is the way I think.

I have 3 dogs (one died).  Chip (the one that died) is 14 now.  Dixie is 10, and Colby is 2.
