I'm that chatty person to my dog. Since my dog goes with me everywhere I go, people often overhear them so people will respond for her. It makes for pretty funny conversations sometimes. The other day I said something along the lines of "we are in a hurry, we don't have time for opinions on this matter right now!". And a lady replied "listen to the dog, stress is bad for your health!" And you know what, she was entirely right and it wasn't all that important, so I listened to my dog, haha!

We have to gently tell Siggy that the dogs barking aggressively/being on alert on the TV are just actors doing a good job and everything is okay or he goes Guard Dog Mode and ALSO wants to go high alert and help.
