I know what you mean. That mean stuff really burns my butt. Xena is gradually getting better. I should've known the 1st time that 1st trainer jerked Xena, right after he put a pinch collar on her, that he was an idot. But several of my neighbors used this dude and their dogs seemed fine. I'd like to put a pinch collar around that guy's neck and yank as hard as I could. Oh well, thank God we saw the light. The method of "reward what she does right" is my kind-o training process. The three of us have learned the hard way. But at least we've learned! Some folks never get it!

To everyone out there with puppies you want to train, find a
kind, gentle method of training your dogs. Reward for what they
do right is the way to go. Punishment for bad behavior is old
school and very outdated. It only confuses pup and makes bad
behavior worse! We learned the hard way!

Dogs, and yes even puppies are much smarter than we think they are, and getting a treat for good behavior is learned VERY quickly...

Thing is, we've done the wrong method so long, Xena is confused; doing the proper method and reprogramming her responses is gonna take a lot of time and much, much effort. Problem: WB is short on patience, like most of the male gender.

NO one said MEN had to be smart or patient, neither is one of the requirements...
