I'm BEYOND tired of him. He makes my blood boil with his lies about some things. But, he's not going anywhere, so why let his lies be spread without saying anything?

I think being an extremist kicks butt compared to being ignorant and abusive! WooHoo! Go us!

There are people here who are not professional dog people who BLOW ME AWAY with the work they have done with their dogs. I've seen videos of focused, eager, happy dogs working with their owners. I've seen photos of dogs who, whether they are a breed I particularly admire or not, look like such incredibly healthy, fit, pleasant examples of dogdom that I can't help but be drawn to them.

And I have just about peed myself reading some of the posts from...others.

That's because you aren't training him properly to walk on a leash or there's a combined problem that he's higher in the pack than you so is directing you where to go.

Give me the dog and the choke chain and a week; trust me you'll see him leash trained. And it certainly be through Ceasar Milan style methods!

I'm not going to sit the dog on a psycologist chair and try to talk to him why he's not learning the leash.

He's a dog and certainly isn't going to lead my pack. That's the first thing Ceasar taught me. I saw all his videos.

why dont you go going the cesar milan forum? he has two forums and a few yahoo groups.

I watch a lot of episodes of Cake Boss . . . does that make me a cake?
Watching episodes of Say Yes to the Dress . . . am I now a wedding dress?

Dude, you've had your dog for like 5 minutes. Get a clue before you open your yap and give out horrid advice that ISN'T based on hands on learning. If you drop your weird narcissistic streak and just READ the forum and LEARN different ways of thought and THEN develop your own opinions, you'd be a much more useful member of this forum.

If he did that, he couldn't be a troll and initiate this inane and idol chit chat. I sure won't waste my time on someone like this.

I wouldn't let you touch my dogs with a ten foot pole Crush. In fact, I wouldn't let you in the same area as my dogs.

Yeah very much like they are your human children. Those are more statements that would match someone speaking of humans - not animals.

No the reason is not because I consider them to be children, my dogs are treated like dogs rightly so. It's because they're care is my responsibility and it's a commitment I made to them when I brought them into my home.

And quite frankly the way you talk I wouldn't trust you not to harm them...which says a lot about you sir.

Aaaaand we're done here. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

And take your dog to the vet. Any dog that is "marked down" by 50% IS A SICK DOG AND NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION.
