I could also remind myself that I might take too many behavioral patterns of my dog for granted instead of trying to correct them like I should. I know that dogs kind of know who II afraid of them and keep polite distance. and they are not supposed to rest where people walk. that's a dominance gesture that I tend to Llewelyn him get away with despite better knowledge. the truth is probably that I'm too weak to stand up against my own dog and that I need training.
