How you train your dog was once a fairly innocuous decision — to leash or not, to reward with treats or not. Now, training styles and methods can be as much about identity as efficacy: Are you imposing colonial concepts on your dog? Are you harming their mental health?

(A full transcript of this audio essay will be available midday on the Times website.)
