Re: [PyrNet-L] If Pyrs were easy to train...

Cathryn,
I can only speak for myself.  I dont find them any harder to teach than our
golden.  In fact, Angel even has helped with our golden.  
I just have to tell you this.  This morning after our usual tussle on the
floor which involves growling, teeth showing and giving me cold noses, I
finally gave up and just laid back on the floor.  Boith dogs darn near licked
me to death.  It is such a treat to me to have such wonderful friends in my
life as they are.  Its all play to them.
I can understand how some folks feel I supppose.  It seems like many of them
have a dog just to have a dog.  My two are 2 wonderful spirits of happiness in
a dog's body.  They bring me great happiness and joy and we have a wonderful
bond.  I certainly hope it continues.  My heart aches for those dogs who must
obey commands for fear of reprisal.  But, at least my dogs do it because they
are loved.  I guess the term "Hard to train" depends on who is doing the
training.  My method works for me and that's what's important to me.
Have a wonderful dayDave
