Get Over It

The atmosphere around dogs and dog ownership has changed a great deal in the past 20 years. Last time I had to look for a puppy things were much different, same with attitudes toward raising them. Oh, it's not really so much my beliefs are outdated, many still share the same beliefs, but they are often challenged by others. The only problem I have with someone stating a different way to raise/train etc a dog is when they insist their way is right and no one else is, that's rarely true. One thing that has changed a very great deal is doggie psychological disorders. Maybe I'll find that more of them suffer from things like SA (separation anxiety) than before, or is it that the 'problems' of SA are really just something taken notice of now, where before it was just 'that crazy dog'? It just seems that the same as with people, too often now dogs are over medicated, treated, and coddled rather than expected to 'get over it' and behave.
