He's done many segments on rescue work and s/n programs, which I think is wonderful. As I said, you can't hate a man who teaches a girl with cerebral palsy to walk her dog. I believe he loves animals (including the human animal). I don't think he believes his methods are too rough, it's just that I do. But we've covered that. |
If nothing else comes from any of my posts, I am glad that we finally have an understanding. I am going to have to buy his CD's so that I can watch them on my little mini cd player where not only can I see but I can hear as well. You don't know how much I appreciate your bolded statement above. I do believe we both understand where the other is coming from.
When you finally make it to Georgia and come to the farm, I can show you why sometimes it is necessary to use more assertive training techniques. We can do both - use both a VS type technique and a Cesar type technique (they work with horses as well as with dogs) and you can see where sometimes the VS works best and sometimes Cesar works best. Got that plane ticket yet?
