I’m a dog trainer, the three breeds I hate to see coming – a popular pooch is always suffering & another is born nasty

AN expert dog trainer has revealed three dog breeds he would never own. Will Atherton, a canine behaviourist from the UK, took to social media to spill the tea on his least favourite pups. In the clip, he warned against certain dogs, some for their personality while others had health problems.

Will said: "These are three breeds that, as a canine behaviourist, I really don't look forward to working with. "The first one for me is the Chow Chow.". While the dog trainer admitted they look incredible with their mane of golden locks, he said he has rarely met one that was actually nice.

He added: "Now I understand there's a behaviourist I see when things go wrong, but usually it's with really sweet dogs that are just making bad decisions. "With the Chow Chow, that's rarely the case.". The next dog Will doesn't enjoy working with was the Pug, a popular dog breed in the UK.

While Will stated that they were often very fun dogs with lots of personality, he can't stand to work with them because they tend to suffer with health issues. These pooches often struggle with breathing because of breeding over the centuries which has made them have such a short nose they can't do it properly, making it heartbreaking for Will to watch.

Last but not least, the dog trainer admitted the one dog breed that keeps him on edge, the Caucasian Shepherd. "(It's) a breed that genuinely makes me question whether if they wanted to do me serious harm, if there's anything that I could do about it," he said.
"Any trainer or behaviourist that tells you they don’t have favourite breeds to work with and least favourites are either lying or haven’t worked with enough and I know when I was starting out I’d have loved to hear people being honest, so at the risk of upsetting a few people here’s some of my least favourites," he captioned the post.
