When you’re a dog parent, it’s all about unconditional love. No matter what your four-legged bestie looks like, no matter how many shoes they eat, and no matter how not smart they can be sometimes, you love them just the same.

That’s all part of living with dogs. But if you’ve ever wondered what the 10 dumbest dog breeds are, you might be surprised to find that you’re not alone. In fact, there have been several studies and books over the years that have sought to rank not only the smartest dog breeds but also those that come in at the bottom of the intelligence scale. Here’s what you need to know.

When you have a dog, and if you’re a good dog parent, you probably want to take your dog out with you when you go on adventures, for walks around your city or neighborhood, and for other activities.

That’s a lot more complicated when you have an aggressive dog, though, and if your dog tends to be aggressive towards people who come near you, that’s a big problem. Let’s take a closer look at some strategies you can use to train your dog not to react aggressively when you’re out, and people come near to you.

It's completely natural for dogs to bark. It's how they communicate with their packs and with us. They're supposed to alert us when there is something going on.

It's even okay when you have guests if your dog is just alerting you that they have arrived. But when he keeps barking at them all the time that they’re there, it can be embarrassing for you and very unnerving for them.

It’s a natural instinct for dogs to scavenge for food, and they will eat just about anything that they find. The more successful they are at finding something to eat, the more they will scavenge, which means that they will become very adept at stealing anything edible that you might leave somewhere that is within their reach!
