I'm 39 and pretty sure I have no idea how to raise a child.
I mean, I have dogs. They have to be fed. One often doesn't tell me when he needs to go out because he's anxious. The other I can't walk with the other dog because he'll try to fight other dogs for whatever reason, so I walk them separately. Every being has nuances you have to work around feeding them and keeping them safe. Who knows what my kid would be like but they're my kid.
Maybe it is just pretty innate but that doesn't mean I know the best way to do it. I don't know HOW to train my dogs well, I know how I train my dogs. But without learning how professionals etc do it I'm not min-maxing, basically.
I've had a hard time training that one dog to let me know he needs to go out. He just doesn't tell me. So I've been looking around for better ways to do it.
I almost given up on my little dog being reactive to other dogs. It sucks. Poor guy never gets to go on walks but I can't keep him calm, I don't know his past life, and I'm by no means a dog trainer.
