Yes right out of their little minds and some ended up on the wrong end if a needle because someone got a hold of incorrectly done studies that were incomplete. Put it into practice.
Going slow and gentle gives you time to watch for reaction in the dog and get it stopped if the training is going wrong fast before a problem is made worse.
If one sees a dog loose it mind one never wants to see it again nor be responsible for that happening.
It is one very scary, hurtful event and dangerous event for both you and the dog.
Having seen my girl go through a near collapse and adreniline dump after a pit bull attack and have to fight her way back. ( which she is still doing) I know first hand just how dangerous a little one can be it is not fun at all.
I call myself a benevolent educator and guardian to my dog.
