And you know what? In the end, your whole investment pays off, because all the tricks you taught your dog and all the behavior patterns he learned from you along the way makes it a perfect companion that actually saves your time, gives you emotional support and even makes other dog owners envious as fuck. They never saw such a good behaving, smart dog before. They can't even comprehend how can this dog exist: "Perhaps he was just lucky and picked a better breed with great genetics? How can his dog be so happy and obedient? Our dog would never listen to this command..."
You see? That's how stupid, unsuccessful dog owners think.
Please never have kids. With this approach, you'll never raise a good a person. And neither your wife, because she'll be depressed and have the same retarded attitude as you.
