Sounds like that owner needed training worse than the dog, Chuck. I missed that one....but imagine expecting the dog to be happy and well behaved, and staking it outside...

But the point I was going to reiterate is this: Training is as much for the owner as it is the dog. It teaches us as owners how to become the "alpha", and gives us the tools to bring home for real training. Just too bad you can't train a cat! Butter could use it!
