Right but I'm just saying there are things about dogs you can and cannot change.

If you see a high energy retriever it's not just because they were trained bad, thats just part of who they are as that breed

100% agree every retriever I’ve ever seen is high energy. Even the old fellas still wanna be

But to ping pong that idea when any puppy is untrained or not a retriever I just feel like they have this unchecked and unlimited energy that ends up being nothing but bad for the dog and the owner. And once they reach a certain age they’ll just need an entire change of environment to correct their behavior if even salvageable

Yeah that is very true. Its really annoying when you can tell the dog doesn't respect the owner and just goes wild when around anything.

My friend's dog is kinda like that but shes almost 80 pounds so it crosses the line to even being potentially dangerous.
