Does the average dog owner know enough about dog behavior?
This question is about general dog behavior only (not medical, breeding, training, etc.).
What do you think is included in dog behavior knowledge?
How much is enough?
How did you learn about dog behavior?
to people giving thumbs down: this is an opinion question only, so no need.
Many good answers so far.
Kudos to those of you who have actually picked up a book and read it or have good qualified mentors (whether that be breeders, trainers or vet people) from whom you gain your knowledge. I am grateful for all of you.
I don't think the 'average' dog owner knows enough because there are far too many dogs that aren't even cared for properly.
There are people who adopt a dog and return it the next day for not being friendly enough (the dog never had a chance to feel comfortable!).
I learned about dog behavior from my vet, reading books and others who are knowledgeable at a shelter I volunteer with.
I don't think it is ever enough - we can have alot of knowledge, but are always capable of learning more.
