I was paying extra attention to this the last 3 days and i noticed that about 8 of 10 people: hold their dogs close preemptively (most of the time nothing happens wiht those) dogs bork and need to be held back people cross to the other side

Is nobody bothering to properly train their dogs anymore? What is happening in the dog scene? is anybody else experiencing this?

I hold my dog close around other people because:

  • I don’t know if the other person likes dogs or not, and keeping the dog close is the best I can do if they don’t.
  • my dog, while well trained, is a fucking dumbass and who knows what will pique his interest or trigger his animal instincts.
  • it reinforces to him that he needs to be close when out.

This is exactly what I do with my dog for the same reasons.
