I think Rhonda was being more rueful than truthful. As
another vertically disadvantaged person I can empathize.
Through most of our marriage we had Newfoundlands and now a
Pyr. I have been the one to do the obedience training and at one point had
a 5 year old little girl who could walk a 120# Newf with no difficulty.
However I will admit that there were one or two times when one of them got a
wild hair while on lead and took off with me plowing furrows in the dirt yelling
"NO, STOP, BAD DOG". At 5' and just over 100# most of my adult life
(notice how adroitly I avoid mention of what I now weigh) I was little or no
deterrent to a wild run.
As for Alpha Boot Camp........may work great with dogs but I
have tried it with husband (6'4" and 230#) and grown kids with little or no
success. They bring up things like Human Rights, etc. I Don't Get No
Respect!!
