Actually, I think all things considered, we were very tolerant and polite.........when you take things into relativity. I mean.....how polite would most people be if they saw someone hitting a human being that they loved (like most of us love dogs) with a stick or grabbing them by the neck and pulling them upward by it? Dogs have feelings, physical and emotional too.
yep dober it could never be that positive reinforcement had anything to do with it
and i had some one"try" richlings technique on one of my dogs and he ended up with a black eye and i had to RETRAIN my dog as he was scared of men after that encounter and this dude is not allowed within 50 feet of my dog for any reason**** these people are crazy they really need to get a life i mean what next there going to open a child boot camp for the children that are drug addicts and rob stores?i mean come on people use your brain which i have a feeling wasnt quite screwed on the right way to begin with...

Here's a good watch for you ... check out the 3rd run ... watch how the dog is that serious with himself he bites the owner/handler.
The situation was corrected as you can see with no hard feelings.
That is a "hard" dog. And when I say "hard" dog I mean a dog that can take a correction, then come right back up in drive, (not crestfallen), not so much a dog that is difficult or hyper like most ya'll are saying. JMO of course.

I don't know if those are "hard" dogs or not. You can't tell that from a video. The one that turned around and grabbed his handler would, I think, be classified as the canine equivalent of a human adrenaline junkie. There's a big difference. I've had both. And I THOUGHT I'd had hard dogs until I got Buffy, lol! Now she taught me what a truly hard dog is. Made me doubly sure I got Kharma out and socialized!
This is what everyone is missing in this thread. Your average housepet does not need to be trained with these methods. THAT is what everyone is getting so riled up about. Dogs with an tendency towards being constantly over-amped, which is a trait well-suited to military/police dogs, *might* do just fine when being constantly manhandled like this, whatever. But the majority of dogs, on both this board and in real life, are not suited to this type of punishment and do respond negatively. Now if all you're looking for in a dog is a push-button robot that never thinks for itself, then yes, go seek out trainers like Richling. You'll have a dog that will jump on a hot grill when you tell it to, but you will also miss out on the spontaneous behavior that makes owning dogs so rewarding. There is such a difference that it's impossible to write about it, because everyone thinks "Oh, my dog does that now."
IliamnasQuest would be a good person to point towards this thread.

These dogs go home to families Zoom, kids, cats, horses, birds, betterhalfs etc. These dogs are very well trained ... I can't say that for all K9's though because that surely isn't true. Ask any K9LEO and just see what they tell you. You will have a better respect for dogs and training if you do.
