Ed Frawley of Leerburg goes positive??

Well, I, for one, am certainly glad to see this.  Now, if we could just get Ed to call Cesar...

I think that you would have to do major door alterations for both egos to fit in one room....

I lost it a long time ago with Frawley when he did some Math that suggested that the method of tracking that i was using would require 28Kgs to get my dog to track 5-6 kms. Guess he never talked to me or my dog....or the many other dogs that would do it. Any one that dumb deserves ignoring.....

It was the same as when i was sitting at my desk playing tug with my Lab and his dumb bell, and being told by a nameless guru that what i was doing wouldn't work, and would wreck my dogs retrieve. The humour of it all was just too much for me, i could barely speak... Never mind that it stopped his mouthing and in the next step i gave him the fetch the unboiled egg test ....

Ha ha, I love it when we can foil their attempts to prove that what we do sucks lol.  What I really enjoy more than that, though, is seeing my students' faces when Sequoyah comes to do a demo, and she learns a new behavior right before their eyes in about ten seconds flat.  That demo is always done after the "training game" where I ask a good sport to allow me to marker train him or her for a few minutes.  Then, they  understand how hard it is for the dog to figure things out, yet they see the dog happily trying to figure it out, without being coerced to do so.

 I am teaching a class at the local all-breed club and sure a man in my class has a very shy wGSD puppy. He was really happy that I use a marker word because the training DVDs he ordered from Leerburg use the same methods. I still associate Leerburg with old school methods in my head but it sounds as though he has changed for sure. It was neat to have a dog in class who already was familar with a behavior marker and it helped me be able to start working through her shyness issue the first night.

Ha, Cesar could learn a lot from Frawley's old stuff, let alone his new attitude towards markers.

Frawley has always fascinated me. His stuff on dealing with aggressive dominant dogs is decent imo.
