I don't feel bad for them; I feel bad for the dog...

Small dogs are not necessarily any easier to train than big dogs....In fact, it seems to me as though it's always the small dogs that are the ones that behave so horribly, which would lead me to believe either that:
a. small dogs are actually HARDER to train...
or
b. people have this mentality that getting a small dog is going to be easier and think they don't need to do much work...
