In a candid Facebook post, dog behavior specialist Deb Nabb compares what we expect from humans versus the silly expectations people place on dogs. The examples are spot on and may provide a few illustrations animal health pros can share with impatient pet owners. For example:
- Human – Given 20-plus years to complete an education and become a productive member of society.
- Canine – Expected to behave flawlessly for life after taking just one six-week obedience class.
