They'd rather eat the paper and run around the house with your slippers. I laughed out loud when I discovered I wasn't the only Dalmatian owner who had to put lids on all the trash cans in the house. These dogs have a special fondness for paper, used chewing gum and other things that typically wind up in the trash. T hey're not mean though. Respect a Dalmatian's independent nature and you'll find them a continual source of amusement and companionship.
Most problem dogs have very problematic owners.
They try to train their dog to be viscous and then act surprised when it turns on them instead. They banish their dog to a doghouse in the back yard and then act surprised when it develops separation anxiety and other behavior problems. You kind of reap what you sow when it comes to owning a dog. S pot has a new nickname now. Maybe Spot has led a charmed life.
