The category descriptions seem a little terse or extreme, but I would say I try to build bonding, trust and respect with my dog (similar to #6 Actualization) through responsible stewardship (#5). However the description of Actualization as "significant other" sounds like humanizing the dog, which I don't...Charlie is a "significant" dog...not a human. The description of responsible stewardship where every single action is picked apart for correctness also seems a bit extreme. I do like the Webster dictionary definition of stewardship: "the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care", where management equals my provision of good food, a safe place to live, vet care, grooming, affection, and obedience training.
