I try to be cool too.
The trouble is when people do/say shit that is so obviously crazy, dumb, that there has to be something more than a mere "discussion" ... there has to be a boot in the ass along with it.
You've got a fucked up dog. Who couldn't make it to his first birthday without being in a kennel wreck. Who can't walk around the block without falling over.
And, you're asking about "working him" (to match, by all you've said) before he can even walk a straight line and not need to "lie down."
And then you talk about your "high standards" ...
If you can't see THE IRONY of it all, then you're as BLIND to reality as you are DEAF as to what was clearly stated in that video.
If you posted this in the Canine Health forums, seeking therapy for your dogs' well being it would probably have been better received.
That said, I could have been more respectful myself ... even though reading stuff like that makes no sense to me.
Yes, I am very smart and helpful in just about any situation, true. I make mistakes and say things perhaps I shouldn't also.
But as far as criticism goes, I don't always criticize people. Believe this or not, sometimes I tip my hat to people ... people who actually do things intelligently and correctly
So don't put completely stupid shit up here and expect a buncha "atta-boys!", because it won't happen.
I will worry about whatever gets posted here, which is MY world ... a bulldog world designed to exchange GOOD advice/practices habits, not shitty ones.
And I too apologize for my own lack of character and self-restraint, because reading stupid shit really pisses me off too, but I shouldn't let it get to me and should learn how to discuss things more civilly.
So credit to CYJ for being a voice of reason ...
