Cain Q.E.D., baby,- Q.E.D.!     Barked: Sat Feb 2, '13 12:14pm PST  "But seriously, no one is saying you're going against a dog's nature or making dogs believe they're human, as if that were possible. Those excuses to justify leaving it up to your dog to settle matters with violence is just that, excuses to justify it." Isn't this contradictory? "I think it highly depends on the dogs you are working with." I can agree with this also - seems to be common sense. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Cain Q.E.D., baby,- Q.E.D.!     Barked: Fri Feb 1, '13 8:18pm PST  "'I really want communication to be learned, not violence. Mediation through non-violent methods is reflected in dogs who learn these skills'. " Do you believe that dogs learn to function outside their nature as animals? Do you think they learn mediation skills and resolve things in non-violent methods? Maybe I'm just perplexed by the way this is worded, but I think this whole concept is counter to Nature herself. Of course I'm not advocating that you allow things to get crazy out of hand where someone gets hurt, but otherwise, I believe that the other Guest has it pretty much nailed as far as animal behavior. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > What Are You Doing For "Train Your Dog Month?"

G2 Be Scaredy of- Me, Dawg!     Barked: Tue Jan 22, '13 5:16pm PST  We are doing some blood trailing and treeing, and the new G2 son I have is getting to work on some obedience....working towards the next NALC show in about a month.... [notify]

Sports & Agility > Confused about Some APDT Rally Rules

G2 Be Scaredy of- Me, Dawg!     Barked: Tue Jan 22, '13 12:59pm PST  "Of course, I also understand how an individual could see others doing it to them and emulate. But then the people who began the snarking really have no right to complain, do they?" Hmmmm....really have no idea what you are talking about here......are you talking about someone who copy cats or someone who becomes hateful and justifies that because they think someone's doing it to them? That sounds a little like a "neiner, neiner" response, and certainly not terribly mature. Regardless, this really is a potential drift off topic, so let's get back on track. "I learned early that some sport people wouldn't know a real working dog if it fell out of the sky and hit them smack on the head" True that! [notify]

Sports & Agility > Confused about Some APDT Rally Rules

G2 Be Scaredy of- Me, Dawg!     Barked: Mon Jan 21, '13 11:41am PST  "as for the food vs toy issue.. well, i wouldn't expect either to be used in competitive venues but.." I wouldn't either - in NALC trials no food/toys/etc are allowed - in fact the lady who runs it recently lectured the competitors at a show on how people who can't manage their dogs without "help" should stay home until they are trained. Now, this was a little harsh, but I think that it demonstrates a difference in the criteria between what is considered a competitive venue and one that is more....enjoyment oriented? I find it interesting that people can send in videos and receive titles based on them - am I getting that right? I do understand people not having access ti different competition venues, but a sequence on video vs a sequence around multiple dogs, in a ring, and with a huge number of distractions - and both end up with titles? Seems a little unfair to the dogs dealing with the distractions, and the owners who put time & energy into their dogs to get their training to that point. Approved by forums moderator

Behavior & Training > Dog to Dog Corrections

Cain Q.E.D., baby,- Q.E.D.!     Barked: Wed Jan 16, '13 9:09pm PST  "I still believe that no human will ever speak dog as well as, well, a dog." my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Dog to Dog Corrections

G2 Be Scaredy of- Me, Dawg!     Barked: Wed Jan 16, '13 4:18pm PST  "Cain, didn't you have a similar experience with your own dogs? If I remember correctly, you had a similar problem with your own dogs. You allowed them to "discipline" each other:" Actually, it wasn't even remotely similar, but thank you for bringing up these situations - once I get home, I'll be able to clarify for you what the differences were. Pretty basic stuff actually, but this is really a good demonstration of how someone not directly involved's memory can distort over time...... [notify]

Behavior & Training > Dog to Dog Corrections

G2 Be Scaredy of- Me, Dawg!     Barked: Wed Jan 16, '13 1:24pm PST  "People can cite whatever they want. There is no way to ensure that small-minded people don't pick up a few buzzwords and completely ignore the meaning behind them." Boy, is that ever the truth! [notify]

G2 Be Scaredy of- Me, Dawg!     Barked: Wed Jan 16, '13 11:51am PST  "..."She wound up relinquishing ownership of the one dog because she would not take my advice" That's a bit presumptive." It certainly is. Why don't you encourage your "friend" to come to this forum & let us know what really happened? That would be interesting, since, as everyone knows, facts are easily skewed in some folks' memory/over time. Better to have the reality of a situation as opposed to having possibly faulty memory used as an example. [notify]
