When dogs were first domesticated, could they train them not to bark at the UPS delivery person?

We (right-thinking, non-Marxist people) must make a stand. No trans-gender pronouns. I am seeing THEY/THEM/THEIR everywhere—on Trad Catholic sites, conservative sites, etc.

Here's an ancient gnome for you:
Oops! My bad. I mistook 'ancient gnome' for 'ancient troll'. My mistake, apologies.

Agree 100%. We can choose not to be stupid no matter how stupid the world gets.

They (male and female leftists) first started doing that DECADES ago.
Got real annoying in the mid 1990s.
After a few years, political correctness was getting beat down as people were tired of tripping over words trying to find the right PC thing to say.
Even PC versions of Aesop’s fables became a gag ‘thing’.
All of this crap goes squarely on the culture’s shoulders thanks to the media and Obama starting in 2009.
I agree, don’t play along anymore.

Good observation regarding gender idiocy — poor grammar to boot.

Since they were trained to alert to strangers, you’re outta luck.

And they cant agree on whether dogs were domesticated once or twice.
Dogs breed with coyotes and wolves all the time. The flow of genes back and forth is constant. Wolf half-breeds were a very popular pet at one time (until that ate too many children.) Coy-dogs are a big problem around here because they are bigger than coyotes and don't seem to be at all afraid of humans (we're working on fixing that problem.)
Were they domesticated once or twice? No, they were domesticated constantly from an ever mixing pool of canine genes.

“The physical evidence of fossilized bones and skulls suggests that dogs as they are known today first appeared about 14,000 years ago. Domestic cats appeared as recently as 7,000 years ago. Most modern dog breeds are at most a few centuries old.”
Whatever the age of the partnership, I’d suspect that some bright and far thinking wolves decided to earn the rewards of domestication and this agreement lasted through the hunter/gatherers phase before bteeds changed to benefit their Neolithic partners.
Yes, my dog is smarter than I am.

Any dog owner knows that dogs domesticated humans. We have been trained to provide food, shelter, a bed to lay upon, the occasional scritch behind the ear, and other affections. Oh, and we provide delivery guys to bark at.
