Besides which, Lauralyn didn't say that. She said, "gee, Janet doesn't
like a positive trainer." Not "Janet doesn't like a trainer who uses
positive reinforcement."


It's ridiculous to say that Janet doesn't like a positive [sic] trainer
since she herself does use many methods that are "positive."


As for "positive reinforcement," we've got a whole nother section in
another thread talking about how people misuse that term, as Lauralyn
has just misused it.


I am SO glad I didn't have to type all that
out myself.


Especially since I'm exhausted, and I get
cranky(er) when I'm exhausted.


But seriously, that little jab LL went for
just made her look like reading comprehension
isn't a strong skill....nor is using training
terminology in a sentence.- Hide quoted text -


I don't think that reading comprehension, understanding terminology OR
training dogs is particluarly a strong suit for LL. She gives new
meaning to the term "simple."


You have to forgive Sandy. She brings her obsessions here. She can't
stop herself.
