Young dog owners tend to cope well when their beloved pooch misbehaves, new study reveals

A new study published in the CABI journal Human-Animal Interactions reveals that young dog owners tend to cope well when their beloved pooch misbehaves.Past studies suggest that around 90% of dogs display undesired behaviours such as aggression and disobedience, but little is known about the impact of this on young people’s experiences and accompanying emotions.A team of scientists interviewed young dog owners in Canada, aged 17 to 26 years, to try and determine their experiences with their pets and their coping strategies in response to bad behaviour.
