What I am trying to get across, is that sometimes people will get defensive. Once they get defensive(or feel like they are being attacked), learning shuts down. I see it happen all the time on many different forums.
And even though I felt attacked(and actually I was personally attacked by one member), I am glad that I joined that forum. In fact, my dogs were doing "just fine", but little did I know, positive reinforcement helped me and my dogs be a GREAT team instead of "just fine".
