Exactly, I notice that there are many situations where the dog leads the owner, makes decisions for the owner, basically “trains” the owner. Sometimes I can see why. My corner neighbor lost her husband of 50 years. She was lonely (for him) and got a small poodle mix to fill the void. She had never had a dog before so they learned together, as girlfriends.
