Interesting speculation, but absolutely clueless. My dog has fear aggression issues and it’s not because I tense up when FedEx comes, because then I’m usually running to the door for my latest goodie. He also didn’t pull me out of the pool. He jumped in to rescue me, grabbed my hand and started to swim to the stairs. I was so surprised, I tolerated it for about 5 seconds and it was nipped in the bud. But thanks for being another person weighing in on how I’m such an irresponsible owner.
I would not say irresponsible, and I don’t think the poster meant that. You love your dog, you treat him well, he obeys you...when he wants. Not everyone is the perfect “boss” to their dog. Because dogs aren’t people, and as people, it isn’t easy thinking like a dog :) or understanding why they do what they do. So I know this has all been very trying what with moving and where are you going to live and what will become of your wonderful furry companion.
