Mugsy, you got it! I'm a teacher, too.... I've worked more recently in teacher education. Yep, & we teachers use positive reinforcement all the time because it works!
Australia hasn't got a positive reinforcement system in breeding/selling dogs yet...but I wish they'd do it. It's the way to go...reward the good breeders, educate the public about who they are & why they're good, & leave the baddies out there in the cold with NO customers.
