Unfortunately, there is so much conflicting information out there, many people still believe that you need to use these harsh methods to train dogs. I can't get over the fact that Brad uses these methods to teach such basic commands that are so incredibly easy to teach other ways. Why would you want to scare the wits out of a dog to teach him to Sit on command? I'd like to see Brad teach a dog something you can't physically force them to do, like Roll Over, or even Come.

On a brighter note, Thor finally learned Take It tonight!! I'm so excited! I'm going to post a brag thread later, but I have to take a picture of him Holding something cute. His mouth is so little, it's tough to find stuff for him to practice on. But he figured out how to hold a pencil and chapstick, so I'm pretty sure he's got the concept down.
