I am all for a bit of feeble-minded fun. But why won't my dog grow up?
Briefly

Dogs' behavior may be disappointing, but owners should temper their expectations based on the animal's limitations.
He growls at brooms, vacuum cleaners, wheelbarrows, and individuals in turbans, despite never being harmed. Owners should adjust their expectations and not expect rapid changes in behavior.
While forgiving behaviors like chasing animals and playful growling, owners should recognize limitations. For example, the dog's fear of parents carrying children indicates ongoing challenges in behavior modification.
The author reflects on personal misconceptions and unrealistic expectations as a dog owner, drawing parallels to raising human children and the learning processes involved in shaping behavior.
