You are fundamentally correct, its all down to poor socialisation and inconsistent training or boundaries as a young pup. The mum will put some boundary training into the pup, the pack will socialise, and owners unravel the whole thing as soon as the pup gets home. You cant blame the owners, they know no better, and it is a process, work that needs to be put in and done correctly.

Like yours, my dog is off lead most of the time. She has earned the right to mooch about sniff and forage, in short be a dog, because I know she will stay, recall, or walk to heel on command 99% of the time when I need her to, mainly to keep her safe.

I could weep with joy when you get the training to the point of controlling prey drive. She'll see a rabbit or scent a grouse, and give me a quick glance for permission to go. Sometimes I let her away after it, knowing I can call her back in the middle of hot pursuit or hunt. Her life as, and ability to be, a dog is immeasurably improved by her training.
