As with all relationships, our relationships with dogs are relationships of constant recalibration, or should be. This is why we should never get dogs on a whim, no matter how attractive that may be. Sharing your life with a dog is a commitment to constant training adaptation, daily empathy and compassion, and no small mind reading. This is one of the reasons so many dogs bought during the lockdown are now in trouble: too little socialization with other dogs and people and too much time spent solely with their owners is a recipe for behavioral problems....
