WARNING! Please, don't watch the next espisode of "The Dog Whisperer"!
1. A few of you recently got your backs in a hump because I recommended
using a fly swatter, or even a cotton ball, to impose on a rowdy dog. Knowing how you feel about this issue, and how you are prone to distorting reality, I offer the following warning. WARNING! Please, don't watch the next episode of "The Dog Whisperer"! He is going to use a tennis racket to impose on a rowdy dog. Yes, I know that is difficult to imagine, but it is true! I've seen the preview! If you must watch the program, please, have 911 on your speed dial! Alert your families that you might go into cardiac arrest, at the sight of this unforgivable horror! Practicing Catholics might want to have your priest present, for last rites. 2. For those few who recently got their noses out of joint because I convert dogs and puppies into trusting, and trustworthy, friends, I thought of you yesterday. I shook my head and snickered as I delivered three of those "time bombs", as someone labeled them, to the public viewing area. They went from being terrified fear biters, to being playful tail waggers--just like real puppies! :-) ________________________ Cigarettes: killers that travel in packs. |

It's just so wonderful that all these dogs have made themselves available to you to help you promote your specialness. Thank you for announcing your specialness! Otherwise, I would not have known. I wish my dogs would promote my big, blonde Valkyrieness. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

They went from being terrified fear biters, to being playful tail waggers--just like real puppies! :-) You know what Michael? Plenty of us here turn dogs around every day. And the real truth is that on at least 50% of all dogs, just about ANY method (even abuse) will work to train a dog, as long as the expectations make sense and the techniques are consistantly applied. Sorry to break it to you, but that's just the deal. Much like people who tether to their ankles, just because something hasn't backfired directly in your face (though I seriously doubt that some of those dogs didn't display some side effects that the owners got to deal with later), doesn't mean that its suddewnly the best- or safest- way to go about something. But keep on presenting strawman arguments in order to make yourself a better handler. Everybody's got to have something, I guess. Tara |

Michael
You made reference to the Dog Whisperer using a Tennis racket while working with a dog. IMO the Dog Whisperer gets a bum rap sometimes. Sooooo, for those of you who don't watch the show I want to say he did not strike the dog with the racket. He held it in front of the dog as a buffer between him and the dog. BTW the dog attacked strangers which included the Dog Whisperer. I commend you for your accomplishments and from what you have posted I see you as a gentle man. I do not see you using a method that would harm a dog. I have had some success with dogs in my life and I am sure some of my methods are unconventional, some are painfully plain..Whatever works? Cotton ball? I am confused. Be Free.....Judy |
