@bawana I concur! There’s way too much of the “equals” attitude around, and it seems to go hand-in-hand with the “dogs have a ‘right’ to be off-leash in public places, regardless of their nature and level of training” attitude. I was on a walk with someone (a PhD no less) who was happy that her dog didn’t attack a dog we encountered while both were off-leash. Are you kidding me? There was a good chance that could happen and you let your dog off it’s leash? WTF? And a rotting stick I managed to pick up at the last second was probably all that kept me from being chomped by a pitt bull on a trail run. She just wanted to “play” with me, according to her owner who didn’t witness the event. Even if a dog’s function is only companionship, humans should be in charge. The “all-positive” training mentality doesn’t help. Wild dogs use appropriate corrections on each other within their social hierarchy, so why shouldn’t dog owners?
Funny strip, btw, assuming he’s poking fun at the absurdity here, which I assume he is….
dogs live in a pack, humans are part of that pack. Equality don’t work in a pack, you have your alpha male, your alpha female, if you try to be equal the dog will try to make you submit. Plus it will say “you get to go in the house so do I” right on the floor.
