STSE #76: "Misbehaving" Dogs

This week we are talking about misbehaving dogs. Sometimes it’s easier to label a behavior or lack of behavior in a negative light rather than recognizing that dog behavior differs from human behaviors. Realistically, a lot of “bad behavior” has a lot more to do with our human expectations than any sort of unusual or unnatural dog behavior. It’s import that we remember that our dog’s behavior is not a vendetta against us, it’s not personal. Dogs are sentient beings with their own desires and motivators, which is why sometimes management is necessary.
