The gross exaggerations by animal rights people do more harm than justice. It is like Peter crying Wolf - so when there really ARE cases of abuse way too many people just write it off as more of their blowing smoke. |
Thing is that dog should not have been in that close anyway.
To train a dog you need it to be not under stress so that it can learn.
Out of the " zone" the dog been calm and paying attention to the handler and therefor no " BUMP" be needed, nor a choke.
When under stress how is your memory?
What do you remeber say after a car accident?
Usually not much niether does the dog.
