I know you well enough from your posts Dawn to agree with everyone who praises you for the care and love you give all of your animals. I would never doubt that for a second. You and I have gone down this road before and we don't need to do it again as we simply do not agree in this area and that is okay with me.
So, with all sincerity, I say ...Long Live Rio, the King!!!  |
Thanks for clarifying.
And yes, we have gone down this road before and I really don't want to revisit it either.
I have stated I was absolutly the one who failed but it works for us
. I never said it would work for everyone or even anyone else. In fact, I think it wouldn't and my personal opinion is everyone would do well to read the posts and take the advise of those here who are knowledgable in training.Remembering also that not all dogs respond to all training methods the same. They are still individuals.
Joan said it best when she said we are the only ones who know our dogs and how far we can go with them.
At 47 I think I know that Rio is not a human in a dog suit, the problem is he doesn't.
