| Thank you for that post. Sometimes we get "now don't tell me training is the answer, I'm tired of hearing that" from people who think behaviors happen in a vaccum and want a quick sound-bite answer. In fact, I'd about gotten to the point of not even entering those topics where that attitude is expected. Yes, training takes time, yes training takes an instructor (those of us who are instructors and who have been training for a long time and many dogs still go to training because we appreciate another instructor's input and observation) and yes, unless you are dealing with an aberant, insane or mentally unsound dog, the answer is almost always "training" or "training tips".....
That there is no free lunch applies to the owners also...:) |
