people propegate things because… “its always been that way”
its how their parents parents treated family dogs…
and others baby dogs to no end…
befire i had a dog, it had never occured to me that i was in fact reinforcing the wrong responses. as in always mess with the dog 1st, then talk with friends etc…
not all pet owners suck, they just dont realize how clueless they are.
i would feed dogs tanle scraps (if ok with owners anyway)
but there is no way i’ll feed the puppy from the table now.

hahaha, our first dog, a st. bernard got table fed like crazy for years. when my fiance moved in with me and brought her st. bernard I enforced no table scraps rule and holy god, I ended up giving in because it was never going to change. In case people were not sure, if dogs are used to getting table scraps, they sit and drool next to you. In case you also didn’t know st. bernards have an excessive amount of drool. Hence why I would give in, it was either that or i’d have to shampoo the rug after every meal, friggin nasty
