What did we do to deserve dogs?

But the point of my comment was not to blame dogs for not being trained. It was to point out that very few dogs are trained work dogs; in fact a majority are couch potato leg humpers- which seems to suit all parties involved just fine.

Ah, sorry. I think the word “capable” led me to think you were casting aspersions at the sofa dogs. As an addendum to your point, plenty of dogs still have the fundamental instincts that make them so good at those jobs once trained, which can lead to problems if the sofa-owners don’t provide another outlet.
