A lot of the threads and thread subjects tie together. Most of them boil down to what works for that particular dog. I can go out and buy the best frikkin' slat mill in the world. $2 to $3000, with all the bells and whistles. If my dog will not work that mill it becomes absolutely useless. It has no value to me for that dog. If the next dog works it well then that piece becomes priceless. The value can't be calculated.

Food the same. If a dog is winning on canned food then it is what it is. There may be better plans out there but some do not believe in rocking the boat. Most will make 5 subtle changes as they go, and years from now it looks like a major change was made. Some jump ship to every winning plan that comes by.

I insist my dogs run the table and the carpet mill. Sometimes their resistance out powers my insistance. At that point I have to go plan B.
