The study of 391 dog owners found that the parenting styles individuals experienced as children significantly influence how they treat and discipline their dogs.
Participants who experienced a permissive parenting style were more likely to exhibit leniency towards their dogs, mirroring the high warmth yet low discipline they experienced in childhood.
In contrast, those with authoritative parents tended to establish clearer rules and higher expectations for their dogs, indicative of a structured upbringing.
Research indicates that parenting styles are transmitted across generations, with permissive styles being particularly prevalent in how individuals subsequently handle their dog care.
