@georgetakei yes, people who live at the beck and call of their dog are actually living in the dog’s kennel.
Dogs are pack animals, and if you do not assert yourself as higher up than them then you become lower than them. They will do what they like and you’ll be expected to do what they want you to do .
And they will decide when to bark, who to bark at and who to bite.
@georgetakei Funny, my dog assumes it is an army of psychopaths who want to kill us, skin us, and wear our corpses as a cloak, and if we're lucky they'll do it in that order.
