I was getting my hair cut yesterday and while i was in the hair salon there was an older woman in there talking about dogs... The thing that caught my attention was that they were talking about the difference between yorkies and silkies .... the woman said "silkies are bigger..... if a yorkie gets any bigger than 7 lbs than it isnt a yorkie, its a silky"
(i kind of laughed at her to myself and just shrugged it off.... because my boy is 13 lbs) so then she GOES ON, and says "i dont know what they think theyre doing these days. everyone is into that 'positive reinforcment' thing which is ridiculous. I have NEVER done that with my dogs, if they are bad then they get spanked and a good NO or are punished, they NEVER got praised and they turned out just fine".... man she just wouldnt shut up, i would hate to be a dog that lived with her what a sad existance her dog must have had.... and positive reinforcement is not a "new thing" its been around for ages.. my mom has ALWAYS taught her dogs with positive reinforcement... I was secretly hoping the hairdresser would cut her BALD
