Well, if we still use ancient training methods, why not go back to medicine we were using 50 years ago. It certainly wouldn't do any harm. In fact, the medicine we used 50 years ago is BETTER than what we have discovered and researched now. (I hope you sensed that sarcasm.)

If we don't use medicine from 50 years ago, why should we still be using those training methods when more, better more effecitve methods have come along?

BTW, Ceaser Millian guy ..well, not much to say about him other than he is a GREAT actor! Instead of that dog training show of his that he has he should really go into the acting business.
Because your opinion differs from mine does not mean you ought to be rude and condesceding. I am as entitled to comment on how I think or feel as much you are and since you seem to know so much more why not tell her how to best train her dog. You didn't bother to offer up one helpful suggestion to her, you merely jumped in with your opinions on my comments, which were never asked for in the first place. Unless you personally know Cesar Millan, or Jan Fennell, or any of the other trainers then you can't say much about them except your opinion on the subject. This doesn't make it true or not true, it's simply your opinion. If you disagree fine, offer better suggestions, but you ought to treat others whose opinion may differ with more respect. If you have a better idea for her then why not offer that rather than simply trying to start a fight? That accomlishes nothing helpful to the OP. Have a nice day.
