A dog psychologist who specializes in behavior change in pets has revealed why working Labradors are not suitable for first-time dog owners.

The dog expert shared his advice online, saying: “Three breeds that will make you never want to own a dog like an average Joe with no experience.”

So if you’re thinking about getting a hunting dog or a Pitbull, you might want to think again…

Hunting dogs

According to this animal professional, all types of hunting dogs are not suitable for people looking for their first dog.

He explained: “Every dog, not a domestic dog, must live on a farm, own 100 hectares and live a natural lifestyle.

‘As a city person you don’t have it.’

Working leash dogs

He also advised that working line dogs are not suitable for people wondering which breed to adopt as their first owner.

He added: “Any working line dog, even things as beautiful as Labradors, if you get a working line Labrador you are f*****g royally f****d.

“We trained a lot.”

Pit bulls

The third breed that this dog trainer wouldn’t recommend to first-time owners, and which he claimed would “come as a surprise,” are Pit Bulls.

The content creator and animal professional explained, “An average Joe should never own a Pitbull. Simple and clear.

“They are a dangerous dog for the average Joe because they don’t use the right form of communication, don’t exercise the dog enough and get a breed that doesn’t suit their lifestyle.

Dog owner’s guide: everything you need to know

Owning and keeping a dog happy and healthy is not just a long-term financial issue, but a lifelong commitment.

Nine facts you need to know in advance:

“I love a Pitbull, they are incredibly easy to train if you have the right mentality and the right authority, discipline and routine.

“But an average Joe should never own a Pit Bull, never own a working dog and never own a hunting dog because you are not able the challenge.”

Big gap

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @cherry hoggshas clearly left many with their mouths open as it quickly racked up 192,600 views.

But social media users were completely divided over the man’s claims – while some strongly agreed, others were keen to share their experiences in the comments.

One user explained: “You gotta be READY for those dogs!!”

A second chimed in: “I agree 100%.”

Foods you can’t give your dog

Barbara Hanly, dog wellness expert and founder of Soopa – healthy, plant-based dog treats – revealed which human foods your pup can’t eat.

1. Chocolate: Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs and can cause everything from stomach upset to seizures, depending on how much is eaten.
2. Grapes & Raisins: Even a small amount of grapes or raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs, which can lead to serious health problems or even death.
3. Onions & Garlic: These can cause damage to your dog’s red blood cells, which can lead to anemia. Even small amounts can have harmful effects over time.
4. Avocado: Avocados contain persin, a substance that is toxic to dogs and in large quantities leads to vomiting, diarrhea and more serious health problems.
5. Macadamia Nuts: These nuts can cause weakness, vomiting, tremors and hyperthermia in dogs, even in small amounts. It’s best to avoid them completely!

While someone else wrote: “I agree with this.. these are not city dogs locked in an apartment.”

But at the same time, someone said, “Pits make great family dogs. They love children.”

Another added: “My Greyhound doesn’t need 100 acres.”

A third commented: “First time dog owner. I have a working Australian Shepherd.

“I’m fine because I’ve done my research. What’s the problem with working breeds?”
