I think if someone states they respect your opinion, you need to follow the same. That's all.

There is not lack of respect on my side. at all. What one believes and does to ones dog is totally up to them but when the research and facts are not what one thinks it would be useful to get ones self updated. Never take the fact that
As to the fact that most research stopped in what dogs are befroe 1999 and most of what you think you know is based on incorrect assumtions. It nice that since 1999 that study is happening and we are learning a great deal of that which we did not know. Most is still not available to the public at large... So what you can use, use and enjoy and what you are uncomfortable with, sit with as your going to hear it more and more. What was understood is changing and it is based on theroies that have been proven over and over just like the world spins and gravity and water freezes.
Not a faultly one off study that was ran with in the 1960 that wrong.
But that not lack of respect cause if it works for your dog great.

My yorkshire terrier has just turned one and he can be so loving and affectionate and then suddenly he will go crazy barking growling at me and trying to bite my hands. I find this behaviour quite scary. It's like heckle and Hyde. After 10 minutes he calms down back to the loving adorable yorkie. Is this normal behaviour for a yorkshire terrier. He has 3 walks a day.
