Define "good" and "unfortunate"

Einstein is dog reactive (ish, it's confusing. I haven't found his triggers yet). He's also a complete stress ball. He deals with generalized anxiety the same way humans do. He has ruined elbows by 2 years old.

On the other hand, he received two obedience titles in 7 months with only just over a year of actual training. I have no doubts of him being a UDX dog and we'll have to see about going for an OTCh (it would take a lot of refinement of his current behaviors, but we're going to work on that as well).

He's not allowed to greet other dogs on the street, but he can walk past them without causing any issues. He's not allowed to go to the dog park, he's only allowed to meet other dogs that I know their people and he can contain himself. He is the best little companion, and while he's got a pretty steep learning curve he's taught me so much I would never trade him for anything.

Is he "unfortunate" or "good"?

P.S. Dog issues are common in the Corgi breed - many people with more than 2 corgis are living in baby gates. Pems tend to be worse than Cardis, but it's really not all that uncommon. Just under publicized.
