I love dogs so much and they should not be trained to hurt other dogs or anything else! Dogs are very cleaver animals and this website, documentary, passage is such a good idea to try and stop people to do that sort of stuff.

why do people have to go and be so complicated!!!!!!!!

Heh, I think once people have decided on a course of training, they usually want to stick to it no matter what. If they don’t, then it means that they have made a mistake and they get embarrassed by this.

It is difficult sometimes to think of others and not just of ourselves.

Hi Alex, Good to see you again.

I think that “cruelty” is probably not the right word to use in the context of dog training. “Cruelty” is a moral judgement and that is highly dependent upon religious and cultural beliefs. Using such a term I think, just obscures the real issues within dog training.

In dog training, there are certain facts as it relates to reward training and aversive training. The more we stick to those facts, the better decisions we will be able to make.

Btw. please take your time and good luck with that report.

I didn’t even realize that summer holidays are just around the corner. I envy you
