Not so much an ask as a comment, but I feel compelled to tell you that dog handling is not one of WIldbow’s many talents. Pushing the dog down to ‘show your dominance’ is actually a very harmful and wrongheaded training method. (feel free to ignore, it just puts my shoulders up around my ears to see it passed on uncritically :P)
Ouch, yeah, that does sound bad when you put it like this.
…I feel like it’s worth noting that it’s a lot like how Rachel herself was raised, too.
