Hi Bell Noir. Haven't seen you in awhile. Hope all is well with you and yours. I absolutly aggree that we must train our dogs to be balanced, and well mannored. Their very life may depend on obedience, why that offends people I don't know. Every day I read on here about dogs that were given too much attention and very little training. My dogs are not allowed to bark on walks either. Barking can spark aggression and I know that the small Yorkie will pay a much higher price in a conflict with a large dog. My little Ginny Joy is still learning. Today she actualy went 9 blocks with out needing correction. My earlier story was about the wise saying, 'Pride goes before the fall'
