Hey...why do I have to be green? LOL!!

Whats an OP? If that is me I opologise if I came across too blunt or argumentative. I am only trying to be the devils advocate so I can get a good answer to the question. I apreciate all the words

No....I am not arguing that hurting a dog gets better results. I have seen through the post in this thread that many of the positive only trainers have used e-collars in the past, very interesting. I am only trying to understand why people are so against them if the dogs are happy and are able...

What? I thought you did not like correction collars? The first one the dog is wearing one. I might be stupid but the trick with the dog hopping around with the lead under his leg, my dog does that every day when he walks over the lead. The dog seems sluggish to me but that is my opinion. The...

Yes and I agree, you do not need to hurt a dog to make them do something. If the stimulus is at a low setting like what IliamnasQuest stated are you hurting the dog or only getting its attention? What is the difference between guiding the dog with the leash oposed to getting its attention with...

My dog does not have a problem. I was only wondering what the consensus was. The dogs appeared happy and I have never been able to achieve that level of communication with the dog. Are there any comparable videos, again only a question I am not trying to doubt your statement? I would also...

This is the video I saw and the dog looks very happy. I only want you to see where I am coming from. http://sitmeanssit.com/content/vid33.html

Ya I saw that but it seems to be all about stopping a dog from barking.

I am pretty sure I know the answer but what is the general consensus about e-collars. I have seen some amazing work with these collars and the dogs appear to be very very happy. Able to walk off leash around other dogs, in dog parks and around other people. I am really only wondering because of...

OK....I appreciate all of your comments and I respect each and every one of your opinions...thank you. I also thank you for the book recommendation and have read about half. Now I am going to give my opinion on the some of these posts and the book. I neither trust nor believe anyone who says...

I am interested in the RAW diet. Can someone guide me to some raw diet threads?

WOW! Wut did I start?

So what food would you recommend?

Thank you just ordered the book on amazon.

to make a dog gain weight? My dog is a pound dog who has never obtained full weight, looks like a coyote. I have tried purina one and then switched to eukanuba but the weight has remained the same. He seems to have plenty of energy and in good health. Any suggestions?

Very kewl and thank you! That does make some sense. I do have one question for you....is your dogs name Zoom? The only reason I ask is because my last dogs name was zoom and I had never heard it before or again.

Not trying to convince anyone of anything. I am only asking questions, is that wrong?
