Growling Doesn't Work

• Growling Doesn't Work spiritdogs Posted : 3/31/2010 7:01:20 AM Lol, guess we'll all have to stop growling at our dogs.  (Who would really do this???)  Seriously, though, yet another study of the effects of aggressive behavior by humans being counterproductive at rehabilitating dogs... http://www.livescience.com/animals/090217-dog-training.html LIKE 2 REPLIES 308 VIEWS LAST POST SPIRITDOGS Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

Did they press charges on the people kicking and hitting their dogs right there in front of them or simply take notes, and then allow them to leave? Creepy. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• spiritdogs Posted : 3/31/2010 1:56:17 PM Um, no.  I'm pretty sure they garnered the information from the behavioral questionnaires that were submitted when the people made the appointments, plus the results of the interviews with those owners.  You would not believe what people will actually tell you when they fill those things out!  And, just the other day, I saw a craigslist post from a person who wanted advice about how to make her dog "stay" because spanking hadn't worked.  You can't make this stuff up...   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
