My current dogs were largely trained by a dog they haven’t met and that died before they were born. The current elder lady learned how to behave from the elder gentleman who died six years ago. He was very well behaved, slightly deaf and blind so didn’t bark at door bells and other dogs barking etc and had a lovely calm but playful nature. He raised the rescue puppy we got. She in turn has raised the other two rescues we ended up with. We now have another dog who is 16 and with us for essentially extended hospice and he was raised ‘outside of the culture’ and it’s obvious! Even now the other dogs correct him and he is mildly conforming but mostly very stubborn and well, an old man!
