The more active and mentally stimulated my children and animal family were the better behaved they were and more receptive to training.
I have based all of my input on FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE -- not from quoting third party unknowns with letters behind their names that may or may not be valid. |
I have a seven year old dog that in anyone elses hands be dead.
I am not the one saying that there are any number of slack jawed Vets, Behaviourists, Trainers, and lay people that can not believe she is still alive and doing well enough to be comfortable.
They or most have of them have seen us from Heck and back on more then one occassion.
She should be dead and the only reason She is not is I got over my need to Ceser Millan her and got with her program.
I KNOW I LIVE IT
