Thank goodness for that. I thought it might involve the words: Animals, Barking and Throttling.


* Then remembers "puppy music" (I think it was), i.e choke chains. *

I was watching It's Me or the Dog the other day, and Beau was barking at that Victoria woman!

[sloweye]

Any one using choke chains needs a slap.

All those TV trainers are crap, i would say to anyone that those fools should be ignored totaly... The dog whisperers right at the top of my idiot list, and the Victoria woman is just... awful.

[Mouse]

I've tried doing the things she says and it doesn't work. Not for me anyway!

What about your dog, though....

[sloweye]

You have to understand the animal, not just try and make it do things. some things people tell dogs off for are built in to their nature. you can't just expect them not to do it. 99% of the time its the owner that needs training not the animal.

Beau's a naughty terrier, there's not a lot I can do about it until he grows out of it! He's at the worst age at the mo anyway so just got to wait it out.

[sloweye]

See, he's still a pup really. he need lots of play. hes no differant to a kid, its how he would have learned to hunt and protect himself.

[Mouse]

He's definitely like a child, a naughty bratty two year old! He's 8 months at the mo.

[sloweye]

That would make him 5 1/2ish. ... i'm being an animal geek ain't I
