You might share with her this : http://positively.com/2014/03/06/aggressive-training-breeds-aggressive-dogs/ , and that the same area of our brains associated to reward and learning are the same in dogs, so unless she's willing to admit that putting a pinch collar, shock collar on her own neck to "learn" , or kicking a dog, jerking leashes into necks would be good for her learning, it won't be any different for her dog.

We're headed off to see The Band Perry tonight ...Hoping for a fantastic show !

My opinion..... Shock collars are for the birds!!! I don't think the dog fully understands why it's being shocked and that can trigger other problems... How would you like to have a shock collar on... When we adopted Kane we decided it would be best for him if we found a professional trainer. A trainer that had YEARS of experience. A trainer that had numerous success stories. A trainer that loved dogs no matter what breed or anything. Well that when I found Canine Etiquette!!! All I can say is Mrs Cathy is a WONDERFUL with all animals!!! If I ever have a question about anything that Kane is doing, I can always count on her to help me every time. The biggest thing is the BOND Kane and I have!!! And it's because of her we have that bond. I can really go on and on about how WONDERFUL Canine Etiquette is and how much she has help Kane and I. I would HIGHLY recommend coming to class!!! You can only gain from it!!!

Holy cow! I can't imagine anyone at a pet store that I patronize saying something that insanely foolish. If they did, I would not go back there. I have taken classes and gone through rather a lot with my dog. First, I learned clicker training. Dogs are not people. Dogs are dogs. This means that dogs DO NOT know what they are supposed to be doing. The best way to get a dog to remember what he is supposed to do is to reward the dog when he does what he is supposed to. For my dog, that's a treat or, sometimes, I throw a ball. Either way, it's a reward. If this person is a reader, I will recommend "Dog Sense" by John Bradshaw. It contained an amazing amount of information about how dogs perceive the world and HOW THEY LEARN. In the course of working with Sophie, she developed a bad case of dog aggression with about 98% of the dogs in the world. I think it got started with her being "resource-guardy" with her precious ball at the dog park. Anyway, I finally went for private training with Pawsitive Packleader in Seattle. With just a few simple techniques, and an endless supply of lamb lung, Sophie almost never reacts to other dogs. If I had not been using treats to reward her, how would she have ever learned to connect other dogs with nummy, nummy cookies? I can't say enough good stuff about everyone who has helped me with Sophie from when I got her as a five-month old puppy. They helped me help her and she is quite simply the best dog in the world. I could show you numbers to prove that, but not on Facebook. If I can help you in any way with this prospect, please let me know. There is NOTHING like positive training to have a very happy loving doggie.

Perfect Margot Dupre!
