People with dangerous pets, It's usually because the owners treat them badly. Not because they treat them well.
Maybe we are talking at cross perpuses here. If you are refering to animals that get spoilt. Piggy (the dog that bit me) was treated very inconsistantly. Sometimes he was pampered. Sometimes he wasn't. That wasn't being treated like a member of the family.
If you treat an animal well, then it usually responds to that. I've had a number of rodents with challanging behavior. I took in a rat which was supposed to be a vicious biter. I had him neutered and he was as soft as they come. Which makes me wonder how his last owner treated him. I also had some female rats who bite. I got them from this animal collector who called herself 'a private rescue' but she used the rescue to off load all her undesirable animals. The other rats that bit experienced bad things in their previous homes. I don't sob sob sob when a rat bites.
I usually go ouch. then I run the blood under water and put cream and a plaster on it. It was never really a big deal. Sometimes It was partly my fault for seperating a rat fight without wearing gloves first.
None of my current rats bite. I got them from a lady who takes in pregnant rescues and she does a really good job of socializing the babies. One of them even came back when you called them... Eventually.
