This blanket statement is absolutely untrue and is repeated far too often.
I have a friend who does drive training for dogs and he would tell you this statement is so beyond false and irresponsible and ignorant. He has said publicly that some dogs, regardless of breed cannot get to a high level of control by ANY owner. Period. And you're just some guy that's seen too many episodes of Caesar.
Dogs have a wide array of learning capabilities, behaviors, and individual traits that make them unique.
It is true that a good owner gives every dog a better chance, but there are literally dogs that have anxiety disorders, and mental disorders.
Yes, there are bad dogs. There are breeds that are way more prone to attacking and killing dogs and kids and people. And while a bad owner will make it worse there are lots of good owners that have had to put dogs down for attacking people.
Yes there are bad dogs. Period. And a bad owner just makes it worse. But all dogs aren't "good boys" by default.
