¡Habla de la cola meneando el perro!

Talk about the tail wagging the dog!

(for natives: that refers to an English saying describing when things are reversed from their normal roles or *ss-backwards.)

I have teeth like a crocodile, appetite like a shark and I’m hungry all the time. Guess where my owners are?

Tengo los dientes del cocodrilo, apetito como un tiburón y tengo hambre todo el tiempo. Adivina ¿dónde están mis dueños?

The owner of this dog obviously prefers to employ (ie: use) a more ''hands-on'' approach on to teaching their dog obedience tongue wink tongue rolleye smile LOL grin

= El dueño de este perro obviamente prefiere utilizar a un mayor enfoque ''práctico'' en la enseñanza de la obediencia del perro. tongue wink tongue rolleye smile LOL grin

Los propietarios de este perro no podían enseñar a sus perro buenos modales. Afortunadamente, podían enseñar la cola de a sus perro.

This dogs owners could not train their dog proper manners. Fortunately, they could train the dogs tail....

Cuando soy maestro, voy a poner un collar en el humano ese, y veremos como le gusta.

When I am the master, I'm going to put a collar on that human and we'll see how he likes it.

I think the ending of my spanish sentence needs help, so of course corrections are always welcome!
