A professional dog trainer with over 20 years of experience has named three breeds he would not recommend owning, including one capable of 'killing an entire pack of wolves'. Garret Wing, founder of American Standard Dog Training, shared his advice in a YouTube video that has garnered over 2,800 subscribers.
Wing, who has trained police dogs for street work and competition, cautioned that certain breeds are unsuitable for families or too challenging to handle. He highlighted three XL dog breeds that prospective owners might reconsider.
The third breed on his list is the Tibetan Mastiff, which he described as a 'monster of a dog' capable of killing wolves. 'Do you think you need that in your home, with your small children? Not necessarily,' Wing said, noting the breed's stubbornness and difficulty to train.
The Great Dane came second. While acknowledging they can be 'sweet dogs', Wing warned they transform your lifestyle, requiring extra-large crates and careful home arrangement. 'We're talking about a dog that is just too big for most homes,' he added.
Topping the list is the Cane Corso, an Italian mastiff breed historically used for guarding livestock and hunting. Wing, who owns one himself, said: 'That is too much dog for about 99.9% of folks... They are absolute battle tanks, and you don't need that in your suburban neighbourhood.'
