Pet Owners Rate Behaviour of Dogs and Owners

According to a recent survey conducted by UK retailer, Pet365, dog owners believe their own pets are far better behaved than they are, while puppy socialization is the key to a well-behaved dog. 

Out of 1,000 pet owners surveyed, it was revealed that most dog owners think their own dogs are better trained than the average dog, and dogs who had been socialized as puppies are easier to train as they grow up.

A few stats from the survey:
  • 51.9% of dog owners rated their dogs a 7 or 8 on the behaviour scale
  • 46.2% rated the training of other people's dogs at 4 or 5 out of a possible 10
  • 34% of overall dog owners had attended puppy socialization classes but, among people who owned 3 dogs or more, that percentage shot up to 50.6%
