I was paying extra attention to this the last 3 days and i noticed that about 8 of 10 people: hold their dogs close preemptively (most of the time nothing happens wiht those) dogs bork and need to be held back people cross to the other side

Is nobody bothering to properly train their dogs anymore? What is happening in the dog scene? is anybody else experiencing this?

      To many people, adequate training is not part of the basics.

      Many treat a dog as a surrogate human and think they can be engaged like a human. They have alomst zero idea that different breeds have very different temperaments and training requirements,
