What Type of Dog Owner Are You?

It’s no secret that people these days treat their dogs like their own children. But the relationship between a dog and its owner is different for everyone. According to reader’s digest, 49% of dog owners call themselves “dog parents,” coddling their pets like real human beings. On the other hand, 19% treat their dogs like companions, talking to them as friends and allowing them independence. The remaining 31% see dogs as guardians, valuing their practical roles over emotional connections. Dog trainers say you shouldn’t read too much into the labels and should instead focus on proper care and training for your pet.
