Could be the type of pet, the breed, how they behave, their relationship…anything about the pet that informs you on their human.

    Generally the way they interact with the pet. Do they have empathy and respect for the pet or do they expect it to be and do what they want. You can usually pick up on this pretty quickly.

      there is crossover, I let me dog do almost anything she wants, but I do not tolerate aggression and jumping on people. if she does, she gets corrected and people are always “it’s okay”. no it’s not ok, she can respect people by not jumping on them and possibly hurting little kids. there is a time and place for certain behaviors.

      other than that, we explore and hike and do lots of fun dog stuff.
