I have 4 dogs, all from the same litter so have grown together, they all have different personalities. When I take them for the annual booster jabs one of my dogs will always try to bite the vet, to the point he has to be mustled, other 3 are fine.
At the last appointment the vet told me to leave the room, he said that because I get nervous about my dog it makes my dog worse as he picks up on my feelings, whereas the other 3 act fine and I'm more relaxed. My dog changed when I left the room, he was at least 50% less aggressive. .
So absolutely, Henry will 100% be behaving off her emotions as well as his own. My dogs are left alone whilst I work 9-1pm, they don't get 'babysat'. Henry I imagine was scared but shes made it so he can't cope alone.
She thinks shes this wonderful loving dog owner but she actually is causing more harm than good. Dogs like to he treated like dogs.
it's crazy that she would think a dog is living his best life being treated like a human.
Sorry to rant but it annoys the life out of me.
