[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8754404, member: 67338"] This is a great analogy. Because for some reason dog trainers (especially online) seem to ALWAYS think that they have the 1 answer. I have had 5 dogs (my own not a parent, me) and I have not found almost anything that is 1 size fits all (also the dogs were all different breeds) i got 2 of them house broken, of the 3 that were not I trained 2 of them no problem and I'm having a lot of problem with my little stitch. If how ever you tell a trainer that something didn't work (especially online) they will peacock up and say YOU must be doing it wrong (even if they can't show why) my favorite example was 20 years ago when I got a puppy and he was having issues with jumping on me and my family when we came home. The things I was 'doing wrong' was giving him table scraps and letting him on the furniture... I told them "I guess if I am more of a jerk to him he wont be as excited to see me so that tracks" BTW we did train him with treats to not jump on us. [/QUOTE]
