Like a lot of the dog owners that will read this post, we are loyal medium to big dog people at Owen & Edwin HQ.
We love our dogs, not just because of their size, but how they integrate within our active lifestyle. We love their desire to run, there sporting breed good looks, their robustness in the backyard and their more than wonderful temperament.Â
See, I personally am a big believer that your dog tells you a lot about who you, and the behaviour you both display is a representation of you. So, whenever someone tells me that their small dog has "Small Dog Syndrome", I believe it's not the dog who is to blame. So, let me explain with an example....
In Australia, we are blessed with beautiful beaches and wonderful dog-friendly parks which enable your best friend to run off-leash. These places provide the happy four-legged with an opportunity to run free, socialise, make friends and have a good time (it's kinda like a nightclub for dogs when you come to think of it).Â
Last month, I walked Sass along the dog beach in the picturesque Torquay (where it is said to have the one of the highest dog to person ratios in Australia). Being a Vizsla (Pointers & Retrievers in general), they're arguably the friendliest canines in existence and are more than happy playing with other dogs. However, with the lack of experience I personally have, I cannot say this about all dog breeds.Â
Sassy the Vizsla saw a miniature Dachshund. Sassy was excited in fact thrilled to have found a friend on the beach. The little sausage, on the other hand, may not have been so. As docile as ever, Sass walked slowly to the Dachshund with gentleness and caution. The Dachshund, on the other hand, began to snarl and snap at Sassy as she began to cry and run in the opposite direction.
We weren't upset with the Dachshund or their owners initially (they were genuinely lovely people and we all laughed it off at the time), however what was interesting is how they handled the situation after they controlled their Dachshund.
Once he became aggressive, an owner would pick him up and cuddle him.Â
And in this one action, it occurred to me that they weren't condoning him for his behaviour. In fact, they were rewarding him.Â
With larger dogs, from the time they are small you are taught to ensure that you can handle your dog. As owners, it's drummed into our subconscious that if a big dog gets out of control, death of a human is a likely worst case scenario. If a medium to big dog barks too often, it's not cute....it's just outright irresponsible and your neighbours are likely to complain. If your dog gets snappy, you can't just pick it up so you have to drag it away and (in a worst case scenario) discipline them.Â
However, is this the case with little dogs? More so, do little dog owners treat their dogs the same way?
With a smaller breed, when it's a worst case scenario you can pick up your dog. Because a little dog is smaller, you subconsciously believe that they will do less harm. When a little dog barks or even snaps, far too often the 'cuteness' of the animal will outweigh the poor behaviour in the eyes of the owner.Â
It's a stark contrast.Â
See, I read John Chapman's The Five Love Languages late last year, and it's more than appropriate to relate the principles to your dog (in fact, I'd recommend you read it too). Essentially, we receive and express love in Five different ways: Touch, Gifts, Words of Affirmation, Quality Time and Acts of Service. Like humans, dogs tend to express love through touch, quality time, gifts (remember when they bring things home) and acts of service (e.g. dog collects the paper from the front door). Bringing this concept back to the Dachshund, the dog received love through touch (cuddles) after misbehaving. As long as this remains the pattern, the behaviour is positively reinforced.
But this isn't just that, this is with every waking moment with your best friend. Whenever we see great behaviour, we must positively reinforce the behaviour by expressing love to your dog. Through practice and experimentation, you'll determine your dog's own love language (if you were wondering, Sassy loves Touch and Quality Time) and once you can determine that you're on your way to better days.Â
Ultimately, the behaviour of your dog (much like children) lies within the environment it grows up in, the disciplined leadership demonstrated, your ability to read your dog and the standards you set for each other. With that being said, I believe (and this is more than a controversial stance) that there is actually no such thing as small dog owner syndrome, but there is such a thing as small dog owner syndrome.Â

She eventually introduced an investment platform to me and convinced me to invest with them, I contemplated after which i did invest. after a month it was time for withdrawal and thats where the issue started, they asked for money and they never stopped asking for more and more. Until it got to a point i had to sit back and reflect on where this all started, then i found out it was all one big scam and i was in the middle of it all. It was a devastating experience, not until i met Coin Reclaim Service through their Telgr^m: COINRECLAIMSERVICE . They took in my case and told me to chill out until they were done.

The panic struck me like a thunderclap on an otherwise mundane Monday. After diligently depositing a total of $87,340 across three transactions, I realized with sinking dread that my attempts to withdraw the millions I had invested were futile. Instead of realizing substantial returns, I found myself ensnared in a web of demands for more money, each promise of wealth proving to be yet another ploy to drain me dry. It was a sobering moment—a stark realization that I had fallen victim to a fraudulent investment company. My story is one I feel compelled to share as a cautionary tale. The allure of quick and substantial returns clouded my judgment, blinding me to the glaring red flags of deceit. The company’s promises were too good to be true, and by the time I realized I had been duped, it was too late. They vanished into thin air, leaving me grappling with substantial financial losses and a profound sense of betrayal. The primary lesson I gleaned from this harrowing experience is that improbable events can indeed happen, and they happen far more frequently than we anticipate. From natural disasters to unexpected global events, the world is fraught with uncertainties. My ordeal with investment fraud served as a stark reminder that vigilance and due diligence are paramount in navigating the treacherous waters of financial markets.
