Is ultra-competitive behavior common among canine parents?
Competitive parents can be highly annoying. These parents love to share that their child is able to one up whatever your child may be able to do and the moment something new is learned, this child has probably already learned it… a year ago. My husband has never been remotely competitive, until now. But, he isn’t working with our little boys, he isn’t bragging on THEIR ability. He is secretly training our dog to one up his best friend’s dog. As soon as he saw that Greta’s Dobie buddy, Raven, could catch a treat in mid-air, he began working with Greta to, not just catch a treat, but balance it on her nose, turn around, and catch it upon command. Raven is quieter, faster, sleeker and better behaved, but by goodness my husband is determined that our dog will be able to catch a treat with more flair than Raven. Let’s hope our friend doesn’t decide to teach his dog how to jump through hoops or we may be investing in a three ring circus setup in our backyard complete with fire tricks and trampolines.
