It's often the humans behind the breeds that play a crucial role. Recently, a situation unfolded involving two owners with pit bull mixes attempting to introduce their dogs on leash. While many focus solely on the breeds involved, it's essential to consider the human dynamics at play. The order of importance, according to dog psychology, starts with the animal's energy, followed by species, subspecies (breed), and finally, the individual dog's name. In this scenario, the intensity and lack of leadership displayed by one of the owners were evident, contributing to the arousal of both dogs. Instead of focusing on breed labels, understanding the energy and psychology behind the dogs and their owners is key to navigating such encounters. It's crucial for owners to recognize their role in managing their dog's behavior and to prioritize training and leadership in such situations.
