You didn't sound lazy or heartless. Your dog may just be what is considered a special needs dog. Max was and we are his last chance before being sent off to some kennel to live out his life, fenced away from other dogs.

We take Max to parks where no other dogs are and let him run in a fenced area. We have to let him know it's not okay to even look at small dogs because he really wants to chase them down and kill them, like a rabbit on the track. I have to keep him close to my body with a very short leash. All of these traits were bred into him so there will never be any of it truly going away but we just try to prevent and be aware.

I really hope the experts can give you an answer.
