This episode is a 0-3 on the dog geekery scale: relevant whether you have pet dogs, sports dogs, or no dogs at all!
C and Katie have mixed feelings about metaphors of biological parenthood being applied to humans who share their life with a dog (or two). Neither one of them wants to be called a pet parent, dog dad/mom, or have a "furbaby" - and C shares why it may do more harm than good if these terms are being used by dog trainers working with behavior clients. We also talk about terms such as adoption, owner and guardian.
Which ones should you use, and referring to whom? Is there even an answer? What identity label do you choose for yourself?
