People way too often believe the animal is to blame for their behavior, when the owner is. If discouraged owners would take the time to learn how their pet's individual mind and (moreso usually)instincts work, it's much easier to address misbehavior, make everyone happier, and save at least 1 life. The tug/fetch games are perfect examples of having an undesirably competitive relationship with the dog, versus a subordinate one. Great article and point.
