I have found that no matter what you tell them, these same people are unable to grasp the concept that a dog thinks like a dog, not a human and they will continue to think this even though they are not getting the results they want. And therefore there is "something wrong with the dog", not them. |
You read on a daily basis new owner's do not understand why
they have a bad dog. It dosen't listen they say. I hope they see
this thread.
