Re: [PyrNet-L] Debate; Chat: Cornering Dog and Responses

[BCavins303@aol.com]

I have seen human children snarl.  Unfortunately, they are usually abused.
All I know is that I respect the dignity that an animal deserves and I give
it.  
This I know as a fact since I was one of those badly abused children,  I have
found that love and caring goes much farther dealing with a dog.  The
Tellington Touch is one way of handling a dog and its super.  Every animal
deserves to be treated with dignity and because I give our pyr lots of love,
she just gives back love.  Someone told me that I was the exception.  I dont
know about that.  I just respect her.  Right now she has her head lying in my
lap while I am typing this.  I have never seen her be totally wilfull and not
obey.  There have been a few times that she would not respond but she has
gotten over that.  But that got corrected when she realized that when she
obeyed she got lots of love from us.  Of course, as a 60 year old person,
people probably wont agree with me and think I'm a croutchity old man but I
will have to say that I have never had a problem with our dogs.  But, then
again, I sit on the floor and tell Angel why not to do sime things and she
understands.
