I didn't quite get this parable of dog training in relation to university graduates turning against their country. Would you mind elaborating a bit, please?

I'm honestly not sure that I get it either. If I had to guess, it's probably something like, "This is the mindset that our leaders have too--rather than giving people any real benefits in return for their hard work, they just make people's lives so miserable that the occasional moments of normality seem like happiness. And when university students (who are more educated and more knowledgeable about the rest of the world) find out things aren't like this in other countries, they would obviously switch sides." But that's just my interpretation. No idea if that's what OP meant to say.
