There are 2 different types that frequent this group: the high falutin
city folk that believe dogs should be treated like children, and the
answer for any problem is "enroll them in class and spend $300 to
teach them not to do it, and put them in time-out, but be sure their
paw socks are on before stepping outside if under 50 degrees, etc."

Or the old school style like me: treat a dog like a dog. Be the pack
leader, a snout slap here and there works wonders, never be greedy
with the REAL people food left-overs, but don't let them demand it.

Barking is in our dog's genes. For thousands of years we bred dogs to
be our guards, and now we want to change them to be our buddies only,
in 100 years timespan. Isn't gonna happen, but at least we have
electricity

Damn, is there a troll convention in town?

I sure wish they all wore silly-looking hats, like the Shriners.

Sometimes it's hard to pick up the smell of troll **** until you've
stepped in it.
