I'm surprised this article had so much to say about cultural factors and "rapid urbanization" but nothing to say about automobiles or car dependency. The main reason I take my pup to a fenced dog park is because I don't want him running into traffic.

Gonna chop up your quote a little there and fix it. Most people I've encountered who think they have trained their dog have in fact had their dog professionally trained by exactly zero individuals...

Most people I've encountered who think they have trained their dog have in fact had their dog professionally trained by exactly zero individuals and think that because they taught their dog how to come when they call their name, most of the time, that their dog is well trained.
