They need exercise, not just enough walking to relieve themselves and return home to the rug in the kitchen. Showering them with love isn't what makes a dog of ANY type, well behaved. In fact, if you praise the dog and never teach him correct behavior, he's more likely to misbehave because you're sending him the signal that bad behavior gets rewarded.
That is all correct. My sister-in-law does admonish her dog if she does something wrong. As did my female friend most of the time for her pit bull mix.
