      Ow I believed the dogs already before you mentioned pence…

      Even normal ss people have to be very on edge, a dog sniffs that out from a mile away. Imagine the ones that trump hand picked to be a few orders of magnitude sketchier and more on edge than a maltreated dog

      The world of 2020 before anyone knew what dog Biden had. It wasn’t good news then, but at least it was news.

    Why is the BBC reporting on this like it’s a scandal?

    Dog isn’t even in the White House anymore.

    “Despite additional dog training, leashing, working with veterinarians, and consulting with animal behaviourists, the White House environment simply proved too much for Commander,” a statement said.

    Welp. I can kinda imagine how that could happen. Just a lot of chaos and people running around and no space to get settled for a dog, maybe some unpleasant interactions, and maybe just not a dog temperament suited for this.

    So after a minute of trying to parse this, I assume his dog is named commander? Or did Joe bidens dog commander, I. E. A person who commands dogs, bite his colleagues?

      Option 3: the dog is a commander of other dogs. My beagle gets orders from him at least once a week.

        Also weirdly coincidental is that the US Commander is named Dog! But it gets deeper. He’s actually a bunch of cats in a trenchcoat!

      Commander’s previous owners should be banned from owning pets since he was a rescue.

      What makes you think the president doesn’t have a full time person training dogs and handing the day to day house shit? Do you think he vacuumed and made the bed this morning?

      And there are plenty of asshole dogs with food owners. Need to stop that tired line.

          I’m sure the dog was much much better off in the shelter than at the White House.

          It’s weird that you are pretending a person that obviously had staff was the only caretaker of the pup.

          It’s also obvious that it would take a while to determine if a reactive dog is not making behavioral improvements.

              I don’t know how much time he spent with the animal.

              If he was doing the right thing, he probably hired a trainer that works with reactive dogs. That’s not an instant process.

              It is a hectic environment, so it was probably difficult to narrow down the dogs specific triggers.

              You don’t seem like you’ve ever worked with anxious or reactive animals.

                Oh so they did get a lot of different people in trying to find a solution, thought so
