Dogs that were bred for working, hunting, or fighting will never suppress their urges 100% and be happy doing it. I think it's almost cruel to own an a dog like that in a normal urban setting because it must be incredibly frustrating for them to suppress their natural urges. The stuff they do that annoys us, is fun and rewarding for them. Making them go against their nature would be like training a human that having fun is a bad thing.

You got that right. People who get hardcore pack dogs like huskies and then leave them home alone all day are kind of dicks. Forget barking you want to really lose your mind? Live next door to someone who leaves a whiny husky alone all day. That’ll make you snap.
In retrospect someone should have called bylaw on those people. I wonder what ever happened to them.
