too much stuff is training dogs by American standards. Dogs are animals, and will continue to see movies in black and white, no matter hom much time you Spend with 'em. All thesis references to standards, awards, shows, are not practical. And it's all based on rewarding the dog, A dog shoulds eat once a day, and all thesis little titbits are bound to harm 'em in the long run. I hope the Adepts of this method do not Educate Their Children in the same way. Purpose there are some good things it it. And Some crap as well, like When the author says a dog Does not remember when it's done something It was not trained to do.
