BamaFan -Well said and right on the mark. Thanks for saying that.
mscat -I think your know it all remark is out of line and very not needed.
A chat is a chat and we can disagree and teach and toss out info and learn and getting disrespectful is not needed. The fact I have facts and insight differnt then many here is to be expected cause I am not them and they are not me and we have had a chance to experince a differnt life and the sights and sounds and learning of the world.
Who I am is a dog trainer/owner with a dog that is a genetic mess and I have had to learn a great deal to keep this dog alive and healthy. What this dog has not had to deal with and I have had to manage or learn be everything a yorkie can and does have possible except Liver shunt ( I am hoping at it age we well passed having that smack us up side the head) and I have dealt with things yorkies are not to have and it does.
Who I am is someone that has access to people, places and things that many do not, not because I am rude or disrespectful of those willing to share their knowledge and for free because I am the opposite. One that willing to learn and to understand that what I thought I had been taught or understood is way off the mark or a wives tale to long in use.
As for being a know it all.. well no I still go to conferences ( boy the last one I learned all about Learning theroy and understiood it at last and phermones) and read anything I can lay hands on.
I still have to learn just what the out come of the latest concern this dog is having is going to cost it in its life.
I still have to learn all about the new C.A.T. system of training aggressive dogs. Wish they choke it up in book form. ( if not that next years confrence)
I still have to learn the T Touch levels and also the next level of rekie.
I still have to understand if there is a way holistically to work some of my dogs concerns.
Oh yes and I still have to learn if Stevie and Alex on McLeod's Daughters live a happy life.
Now lets take this back to learning.
