Choosing the right dog has everything to do with lifestyle, not just looks or popularity. In this video, I share 10 dog breeds I personally would never get as a pet, based on my daily routine, energy level, and dog training experience.

This is not a list of aggressive or dangerous dogs, and it is definitely not meant to shame any breed or owner. These are simply dogs that would not be a good fit for me, even though they might be perfect for someone else.

If you live on a farm, run miles every day, or want a high intensity companion, your ideal dog may look very different from mine. This video breaks down why fit matters more than trends when it comes to choosing a dog.
