Look you guys go around recommending Ceser way of doing things to dogs you can not see and do not know if they are able to handle it.
Your and I am using the royal your tossing cans and alpha rolling suggesting get firm, using aversive and interrupter when you do not know if there is a medical reason that is causing the dog to act as it does.
Is the wiring in the brain able to handle that. I live with two and they are not as rare as Ceser would like you all to believe.
Your are playing fast and loose with dogs lives and that is not ok. When there are slow safe methods that we can use that if there are indicators of problems we can shut it down and go a different way.
Lights in little brains go out very easy and it lasts for the rest of their lives.
Thing is all of you have never seen a dogs eyes roll back into its head the brain shut down and your are standing there with a life that is a hairs breath away from not being here. I have more then once. She lives with me.
She is one of those cases that if Ceser pulled one thing on her she crash and she is not rare. She be dead or he would be bite. Trust me he get bite and she nail him hard.
This is not a game it life and a dog pays if you or I get it wrong.
It would be a better course of action to go slow on dogs we can not see and must trust that an owners emotions are not clouding the info.
But then again your not there if what you recommend turns the lights out in a little brain and fear takes over and life as they know it becomes unbearable.
Again I do I live with one wee soul that looks at everyday as a bless and a do I really want to be here. Can I get to the end of the day without a panic attack.
It takes one wrong move once to wreak a life just once on a wrong wired dog and unless you can see them you do not know if they are wired right.
That is why as a professional you only advise after seeing them and if you advise you use gentle if you do not see them.
There is not make up test if you blow up a mind. Sometimes it once just once that takes out a brain. Yes I am repeating my self on purpose.
It like the lady that wrote the breeders book I had to read it is 63 days from when the eggs drop to the puppies are born. She repeated that over and over but she got her point across.
I am doing the same.
It can take only once to blow a mind once blow it does not heal. I live with one.
ANd no I am not anti excersie too but on the wrong dog at the wrong amount you are going to get bite.
