Isn't it amazing that Mark/Donnie/Bill didn't figure we would know that it was the same person?? Funny how they don't have enough knowledge to directly answer questions either, sad.
Now Mark/Donnie/Bill, please explain to me how I could have a Jrt (Jack Russell Terrier) with extremely high prey drives (that also is a proven working (hunting) dog) call off cats and once a flock of wild turkeys that he was chasing, when I have ONLY ever used clickers and positive reinforcement training with him? Or please explain how I can take a dog to a cattlemans BBQ, leave the dog without a leash or collar on him, sitting in the box of my truck with the tailgate down, leave a plate of steaming roast beef and all the fix'ns and leave. Knowing that he wont touch it.........and by leaving I am not talking about moving a few feet away from him, but walking hundreds of feet way, beyond a crowd and go into a huge tent (forgot my drink) to come back to a dog that never so much as moved an inch towards that plate. Btw, I set the plate less than two feet from him and do you know what he got for leaving that plate of food?? Yep he got some, what a good dog!! And if you assume that I have only had success with one dog ^^^^, and he is the exception... you would be wrong.
I don't think for 2 seconds that you are going to reply but my point is, myself and others live with dogs everyday that are proof that the methods that you claim don't work actually do work and very well. As for clickers/rewards making a dog aggressive, that makes me sad everytime I hear it but on the other hand it also makes me laugh at the pure ignorance of such a statement.
