I do agree that training should be like a buffet - take what works for you and leave the rest. Don't trust someone who says it MUST be done a certain way (and I have seen people say things like "If you do not accept pack leader theory, your dog will never obey", so it goes both ways).
As I said, I would like to see more training traffic, but at the same time, I see why people get passionate and argumentative. So, like, yeah. |
It is okay when someone is passionate about their training methods. What I dont understand is why they cant just explain why theirs works rather than just tearing down someone elses methods. Ive even seen where people on here have suggested using the change in the can method for barking problems and even though its been effective for many members it gets torn down. I just think anyone should be able to share their training method. This isnt like some subjects where their is one definitive answer. What training doesnt work on one dog might work for another
