I have had a few cats in my family as well as a dog. I have trained dogs on a few occasions and walked dogs of friends and relatives. I have dealt with well-trained dogs as well as aggressive/agitated dogs. I believe it is the training through a dog's life, not the breed, that defines a dog's behavior.
