OK, I will apologise. I do have some bad feelings i dont deny that. I have a right to my opinion but for this I will shut my mouth and give you the benefit of the doubt because the more I read the more I can see you are trying to rectify the problem. So I hope you accept my sincere apology, you would swear it is monday! I dont know you so im wrong and YES, you are right to come here and seek advice and I got fiesty about it before reading every post which was wrong of me to jump to conclusions and comment - My mom calls it foot and mouth disease
BUT I dont like even the slightest hint of an animal being hit though and Im not going to condone that and I really hope you never do it to her again. And my math has been off since school, so 16 or 20 makes no difference to me
you can still do serious damage.
Have a moderator delete my posts if you want to - this is why i came off these forums because I get too heated!!!!!
OK, so let me say this: Your dog is (A) set in her ways, probably from being spoiled and allowed to behave her own way over the years by your partner and (B) dominates you, your house and everything else around her. fear has a lot to do with this, so I only ask you never hit her. Then i will not say a word and remove the thread from my list and BDog and you can sort yourselves out.
I wish you all the best in whatever final decision you end up making and I do sincerely commend you for your efforts and apologise once last time.
