It's a rare day I beat the dogs, in fact I can't remember the last time. It's also unusual for the collar to come out apart from stock training, but it does.

I don't see anyone using a whip. This is a fantastic tool. No you don't flog them with it, but they pay real close attention when it's waved around and makes a bit of noise. At worst I'll lay it over there back, there is no pain involved. Not cracking it on them, just lay it over.

The throat hold is another very useful tool just to remind them who the boss is, again rarely used.

What a hoot this pre training thing is. All very nice if you get the dog young, real young, but as a rule mine are a little older before I get them....

No, you can pre-train a dog for game at any age... Throat hold? Works in the moment, but it's just arguing the point with a dog, I don;t get into that argument... I hold myself above it, as do most pack leaders... most aggressors in a pack are challenging, not disciplining, there are exceptions, but most....

now you say pre-training is a hoot, but by your comments i have to assume you don;t even know what I'm on about, but still want to decry it... far out, imagine if there's something new to learn here, but hey... maybe not...
