Ok i red NOTHING about horses i ride them, and i know when you praise them you pat harder then a running your fingers over there skin. why? because it feels like flys to them and its irritable to them like u said.

You are not getting one thing i'm saying, you have your points and reveuse to open your mind at all to others. And I hate it how your going on that i haven't tried anything else cause i said like 50000 times that i have tried eveyrthing else and this is all that works.

No i wouldn't hit a hamster because they are not dogs. They are small and frigile and stupid. You have your mind set on your way and you will not look at anyone elses, and until you do that or see my dog and her behavior you shouldn't say there is only ONE way to train a dog and that is the way you speak of. I've never heard of anyone (well rarly) training their dogs that why. I swat on the rear is nothing serious and she barly feels it. Maybe it's a canadian thing? eh? Like i said, until you meet my dog, which i'd love to see you train her more efficiently then please do not talk of me doing wrong with my dog saying i don't try anything, which i try EVERYTHING and anything and pick out which is better for my little girl whom i love with ALL my heart and i garentee theres not ONE dog out there that could possible ask for more love.

She doesn't exactly "Wake" me up in the morning, but after i wake up she's up and wants her food, should i not give her food to show her that i'm the boss? I'm sorry but its not fair to her, she has a set time for feeding and she knows she only gets it cause i give it to her.
