It was also a very dangerous situation and almost killed my grandfather. I am very upset that you are trying to paint me as some awful person because I used a squirt bottle. I have put lots of time in training Callie and all but that one thing was done using positive training and she knows many commands and tricks and even has trick dog titles. My boy Joey and me do lots of training as well he too has multiple trick training titles. Penny is a work in progress but I do positive training with her as well. This painting me evil or even a unknowledgeable trainer is just wrong and proves you don't know me at all. I'm not an evil person because I used a water bottle. I would die for my dogs, they are my babies. I also want to say that anyone that has had to use it for the same situation is not evil either but I'm sure that with the condemning of it that they won't speak up. My Yorkie's also are not tiny but you should remember that because you didn't want to make a harness for Callie who is 18 pounds. |
Please, let us agree to disagree respectfully
. I understand that we all do the best we can.
Sadly, this is not the time or place to talk about my choice not to sew for Callie. It had nothing to do with your precious Callie or her size. I will not belittle either of discussing an unrelated private matter that has nothing to do with the OP's original plea for help.
I did apologize and I have offered to privately help the OP. Unless she contacts me in this thread, I will bow out - I have more important issues to attend to than discussing the merits (OR NOT) of using a squirt bottle as a training tool.
