It is quite apparent by many of the posts, that most people do not read the sticky threads. Why is that do you suppose? Can we discuss the possible psychology behind it? I'd like to analyze if there's a more effective way.
We see thread after thread of the same things; puppy won't stop biting, puppy pees, puppy pulls on leash, puppy won't come when called. etc. (It's OK, but....)
There are some great articles and posts in those stickies that address these very situations and more. I know that many of us are more than willing to help people with tips and our own experiences of how we dealt with things. And we type similar things over and over again because sometimes it's easier than digging up old posts we wrote. And I, for one don't mind doing that one bit............up to a point. But after years and years.....LOL.
For basic, very common behavior problems, (maybe they don't know they're common) I just wish people would browse through the stickies, see if there's anything that pertains to them, perhaps try the search feature and then, if all else fails, ask.....by all means.
