You advertise your book with every post.

I think it started with someone's comment that I allegedly wrote a book
and escalated from there. I did feel that several were ganging up on me
as if the book were a mortal sin and as people were asking specific
questions about the content, I posted portions thereof in the hopes of
alleviating the perceived sinfulness.

Don't be an ass. No one said writing the book was a sin; that's
ridiculous. You wrote the book; that's fact, not allegation. Writing
a non-fiction book implies that the writer has some sort of knowledge
or expertise about the subject. From your posts here, some people
here, myself included, have concluded that you are not qualified to
write a book giving advice on training problem dogs. From the
excerpts of the book you've posted, I (and perhaps some others) have
concluded that you're not a particularly good writer. Don't start
whining the 'everyone's being mean to me on rpdb' refrain. If you
come on a public, unmoderated dog behavior group and advertise your
book, you should expect to be critiqued.

rec.pets.dogs.behavior:

The dog experts pretty much all agree that it's better to
train your dog with a reward system than a fear system...

This is the type of stuff I don't like. Since when was reward
the opposite of fear?

When one is "misinformed"?

Heh.

It was Dogman and he disparaged your book, starting with comments about the
mixed dog breed name.

She has a link like many have as a post signature. It leads to a web site
with many things, some of which are pet related and if you look about,
you'll see bits on the book as well.

So, stop asking about the book if you do not want to see it. That simple.
She only posted it in reply to another who hunted her link and found it then
mentioned it and started this mess over it. She didnt bring up the book
herself here.

When someone's post sig includes a link to a web site where they talk
about a book they wrote, that's an advertisement.

I haven't asked about the book, I've commented on it. I have the
right to do that, and if you don't like my comments, don't read them.
It doesn't make any difference whether she or someone else brought the
book up.

Correction: I have never disparaged Sharon's book. I'd have to read it
before I could do that, and I haven't, and have no plans to do so.

And for the umpteenth time, there is no such thing as freakin' "Ausky
breed," which Sharon calls it on her web site.

And there is no such thing as a "mixed dog breed name" either. That is
known as a contradiction in terms, learning disability or no learning
disability.

Now crawl back down into your vat of **** and have another swim.

That's simply not true.

There's a link to it in her sig file. Thus, it's in every post she
makes.

What a maroon.

PS: When was the last time you got anything right? Can you even
remember back that far?

Short of giving a stranger the key to my house, which isn't going to
happen, we did not have that option. I do not trust many people with
the key to my home. Few people I've met would bring someone in midday.
I know that is the recommendation. I also know that your average dog
owner will not do it.

You DO (or DID) have that option! You can hire a professional dog caretaker
to help you care for your dog when you can't. This rampant paranoia of
Americans is sad and pitiful, but to force your dog into holding her bladder
for many hours because you don't want someone you haven't known since third
grade to have access to your house is just stupid. Do you also not allow
your housekeeper to come in, or your plumber? Sometimes professionals need
to enter your house. Sheesh.

I'm an average dog owner. Very average. I wouldn't ever leave my dog for
that long alone in my house. If I need to be away for longer than an hour
or two, I put him in day care or take him with me. But I DO hire people to
come in and feed the cat, the fish, and the rabbits when I can't, or I'm
away for a few days. It's their job. And I'm grateful that there are
people out there willing to provide this very valuable service to me.
