I am a bit odd..I do not like to see animals of any kind perform for a living..to earn their keep.
When someone asks if my Yorkies can do any tricks, it is like asking if my kids can play dead, rollover etc...I know it is cute to see a trained dog do tricks, but I just don't do it..I agree with training for OB..that is life saving and makes them a good pet. Sit. stay, no jumping on people..same things we teach our kids.

I hate Sea World..I know we need to save marine life and study it..but why make them do tricks? Can't do the trained elepant thing either...but I do love Lion Country where they are more free then a zoo...JMO..I said I was odd.
