Again, another who thinks simply saying it like they think it is is good enough for someone to simply say "ok".
Try and explain how, i'm wrong, YMB. Simply saying "i trained a dawg and yer wrong" aint good enough for a discussion.
Ken thinks i'm referring to abuse. I'm not.. kens answer = pointless.
Maybe if people took the time to understand my posts instead of simply trying to silence me and rid me from the thread we could actually have a decent discussion.
Like.. ken literally implied i was saying kick and beat your dog to show it you're boss. That's not what i meant at all.
So it goes back to the point i've made many a time, (re-read if need be)
Dominance does not mean abuse and assault. It's the little things like feeding yourself before the dog, taking the dog for a walk on a leash, sleeping in a bed whilst the dog is on the floor or the foot.
If you know it or not, you are usually domonant over the dog.
having had dogs in my life for over 50yrs and can say, it's about training breed and temperament, dogs like the soft female voice
where as the male voice acts as dominance, but back to who is alpha
id say neither male or female but either, again correct training.
Spath, I don't think anyone is trying to get rid of you from the thread, but there are so many people here with years of genuine experience.... sometimes it is better to ask questions about what you would like to know, than assert something and defend it when you aren't sure.
I just love this web site! I'm a "moron"; "warped" etc. And how many of you posrted in the recent OP about being offended, which is still running? :o)
I posted about the baby elephant because I thought some of you might be interested, not because I have any affection for elephants. Or any other animals for that matter.
