ive spent the weekend so far bingeing dog training content by people i don't feel like i have to agree with (my favourite kind) and sometimes they say things about dogs that im sure is plenty accruate but in a way that makes it sound like they've never been a social mammal ever.
"dogs never do anything for free, or even just because they want to. even playing, is to build social relationships." sure! and humans play together because...?
and other times its things like "but why do we expect our dogs to show excitement? excitement is a form of stress. i'm never excited, and my life is fine." cool bro! when i say things like that out loud, people tell me theres this new thing called antidepressants
