Just like how some don't like Cesar's methods, they say it looks cruel, but in fact it's not harming them. So what am I to do?
I don't use treats either. In fact Uni is great at trick training, and we used only kibble during mealtime. It's this overexcitedness in her that's so embarrassing when we go out. Oh and also, her bark is SUPER LOUD! It's low and loud, not high yappy shrieky. So many people have comments on how low her voice is. I think they are just being polite and not saying loud. |

Yes! I can't win with people. Maximo is like Uni, he has a powerful voice, and he knows it. I have had many people tell me that he is the loudest Yorkie they have ever heard.
If I use Cesar methods, people are horrified. If I ignore Max, people are annoyed.
