Dogs don’t respect us, it’s not because they think they are better than us, it’s just that the concept of respect has never crossed their minds. Dogs simply don’t think in terms of respect. They think of “this works/this doesn’t work” and “that’s safe/that’s unsafe.” Dogs behave to create a consequence they want or to avoid one they don’t. When a dog doesn’t come when called, it's because they have strong motivation to stay where they are and no motivation to come. Dogs will stop spending their energy doing things that don’t pay off. If you never pay them, you can expect them to stop coming if there’s something more interesting to do instead.
