First of all - I honestly care what anybody thinks about anybody. And
I don't really care if a guy who has good info is a grade-A nutcase -
I ain't havin' dinner with him. That said, I have never seen anybody,
with a theory that actually sounds doable to me, go out of his way to
**** OFF SO MANY FRIGGIN PEOPLE, when he could do a lot better if he
were more realistic about dealing with people. Hey - I've yanked a
leash or two in my day - how the hell are you supposed to learn
anything until you come across it - and just because I yanked a leash
or two doesn't mean I'm gonna take **** off of a raving loony. I have
tried the techniques laid out by the professional "yankers" and
"screamers" and I'm simply not interested in that method anymore. I
love my dog and he loves me - that right there should be enough to
build a learning experience on.

Here's the deal - I'm gonna read that manual just like I have read SO
many other dog training books and see what it says to me. The parts I
have read so far don't seem crazy to me. In fact, the TINY bit I've
tried so far have had positive effect (don't go quoting me Jerry, I am
NOT a believer yet, and 15 minutes has long gone by). But I will give
anything a chance if it sounds like it's worth a try, plus the price
is right. So, if ya have any comments JH, for GOD's SAKE, make them
short FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE and I may actually read them.
