well i think that a lot of people have felt that way about children in public at some point in their lives. Kids act up if parents let them. I often wonder what kind of a kid I was and should ask my mother if I was well-behaved or not.
I am sure that the way that I look after Nadi has a lot to do with why she is so well-behaved for sure, but at the same time I also got lucky that she has such a pleasant demeanor. Other friends of mine have dogs that are just wild but it is at least partly their fault because you have to mold a dog, or a human, to get them to act right.
