    Knowing the dogs as individuals is huge. Recognizing and making adjustments is key.

    If a dog can be that well rounded and know the difference it is a good thing, should be celebrated and a lifestyle can be forged around that type of dog. If the dog is the other way, maniacally fight crazy, he has his place to, where a a good chain set up is a must, always. EWO

    You hit upon my whole impetus for this type of experiential, and physical training. That is, the ability to take the individual to his or her full potential in whatever endeavor the dog is asked to perform. C'mon guys, do we.really think the methods of the 50's or even the 70's, or 90's is the optimum way to raise.dogs? On the other hand, there were plenty of successful folks who hand.raised them in small numbers (Andre Giroux and Norman Hooten immediately come to mind) back in that same era, who definitively proved one could do more with less.

    I'm sorry, but if a fancier is smart today, they likely already realize the era of keeping 30, 50, or more dogs is bygone. If not, news flash!:-) Training methods like this.can allow a fancier to do more with less IMO. A dog that will quit.in :20 for.the local hee haw dog.goober may do 2:00 for a beloved friend. Who got it wrong in the former scenario? Who got blamed?

    Absolutely agree with what was said here. Do more with less is the best way in today's world. :-)

    TXF great thread you got going here. I honestly believe letting bulldogs run in a pack is a good thing too but just have to supervise them. Anything is possible with effort.
