You can also easily get the first 3 by getting arrested. I don't see people lining up for it.

From what I’ve heard all 4 are possible as long as you’re into picking up soap.

A lucky dog has never experienced life without these things, so it doesn't know that it wouldn't have them in the outside world. It just thinks that outside, there's unlimited food, water, shelter, love, and running around.

My brother adopted a stray dog. She is super thankful for everything. And if the front door is open, she may get outside but will beg to come inside afterwards. She knows how it works out there.

He knows your ass gonna go find him and he can just blindly get lost and explore.

The two most important things any dog must learn for their safety and mine is come and leave it.

After that things are optional and fun depending on how far you want to go with training but those two are non negotiable in my world.

He has the need, the need for speed. He has so much joy in his heart only zoomies can release it and sometimes the zoomies take you places you shouldn't go and you don't know how to get back.

My dog loves to go out and chase the outdoor cats but seeing the door open isn't a cue for him to go out but seeing me grab the leash. If we're going outside leashless it means we aren't taking him for a walk.

Our dog used to push the door open and then run around the neighborhood for like, a half hour or so, then show back up on the porch wanting in

imagine making sure you can provide your dog with sufficient exercise and stimulation before taking them into your life

It's funny to me that some of the most judgmental people are also some of the ones who seem to believe dogs are all just basic automatons. They have personalities, many of them try to get loose simply because they enjoy it and not as some sort of pathology, and not all of them can be reliably trained not to do that.

(I wonder if some of this attitude comes from people who own guarding breeds which tend not to want to run away. My sister's pitbull wouldn't voluntarily leave her side, leash or no leash. My terrier mix would forget everything else if he saw a small animal.)

ironic to say that i view them as automatons, when you're the one defending people mistreating their dogs.

Yeah, we have a situation where we can keep our dog exercised, has no urge to escape generally, maybe going out into the drive way but return shortly after
