I think I'm guilty of this sometimes ..but it comes from a genuine place& if it's something I know lots about (focus, building tug drive in non-tugging dogs ..and that's about it! LOL!). I'm sure some people think 'That dog of hers isn't even that focused so why is she giving advice?' but the reality is we've FOUGHT to get the focus we have now& I learned a lot ..so even if people have way less issues, sometimes I think the vast knowledge I've accumulated in the last 18 months may help someone new to figuring out their issue with maybe not so much experience in the 'bad dog' category !
Well, this post was pretty much "I forgot to release Logan from his down stay and he's still here an hour later" and I got suggestions on training him to lay on a mat for long downs, blah blah blah, use a timer, blah blah blah. NO. He has a down stay, and he has a long down. I don't want advice. I don't need to use a timer. I forgot to release him ONE TIME, and he was good and stayed put. I don't need training advice when I post about my dog BEING GOOD.
