What can you contribute?

Cronies, Bahahahaha now we have cronies. Ans just what is it you call your little gang? And notice how the more you post the uglier you get, and you the one who's name calling.

That is until your fellow "luv-myself" I'm in love with myself-fest member came here.

Just keeping slinging that mud.

I said in the beginning I'm not a professional trainer.

Now there's a shock.

I don't ever intend to be.

For the sake of all those naturally born DA pit breeds that's probably for the best.

I have two Pharaoh Hounds, I doubt you know anyone else that could tolerate day in and day out the challenges that having a Pharaoh Hound brings to one's life.

Yep, I'm quite sure your the only person on the planet that knows how that is. LOL

You couldn't.  Your non-spelling friend couldn't.

Of corse we couldn't darling, your the only person on the plavet that can. And me, i'm still just trying to spell Pharaoh. LOL

So already I know I'm better than both of you and I don't have to use passive aggressive techniques to prove it.

You done a great job proving who you really are and what your really about using no technique. But hey, if it makes you feel good at the end of the day, more power to ya.

Nope, I won't rely on passive aggressiveness.  I'll use the truth. 

Truth, you wouldn't know it if it ran you over.

You offer nothing positive to this forum.

And what has been positive about all the cheap shots and name calling your doing?

Thank you and make that 2 blocked.

That will make intelligent conversations over here much easier now. And no, thank you.[]

Please stop banging your head against the wall, it's not going to help your spelling and it's not going to answer any questions.

 
Ed, come on now, I read along and all of a sudden boom there it is again, a reference to somebody's spelling.......or a nasty remark, can't we leave that out?[]

Yes, he appears to be a master canine professional

 
All I can say is, wow. If I walked into a dog class and was confronted by a 'dog trainer' with his attitude and defensiveness, I would be appalled. I mean imagine if one of his clients actually questioned a method or asked why it was being done. They would probably get an earful of defensive, "I'm-the-trainer-not-you", "what do you know about extreme red case aggression" etc babble like we do! A REAL professional trainer doesn't mind having their methods questioned, because they have sensible theory to back them up. Professionals, whether in dog training or otherwise, don't clog up message boards with "BAHAHAHA" and other useless posts.

What's wrong Scout, you can't see the big picture? 1. People that use my services because they hear about me through other people, and my word of mouth business is through the roof. So you clueless there. 2. People that come to me don't come to me with *nasty* attitudes, like yours and some others here. So your clueless there. Clients that work with me don't have hidden agendas and think they already know it all because they read it in a book. So your clueless there. What would *you* know about a *real trainer*. Ever met one? Again clueless. And since my clients don't ask question while spewing fire, and with hidden means, they actually get AND! can understand the answers. So your clueless there as well. And as far as me laughing goes, I had no Idea that when someone says something funny I couldn't laugh. Perhaps you know something I don't. Nah, you've already proved you don't. You may want to try that block botton.

Now sinse you seam to have a difficult time with the truth of things, and seeing the big picture, let me help you out.

In the OP 's first sentence was "What were some of your challenges with client dogs?". So I shared one of my challenges. I even very plainly answered some questions. But Xerxes decided my questions weren't answer the way she like, so then she showed who she really is. If you can't see that. Bahahaha I'd suggest you read closer. So! how about that block botton Scout, buddy.[]

Personally, I welcome a good discussion with a variety of participants. I learn things from people I don't agree with because the conversations make you think and you never know who might contain a perspective or an experience which has incredible hidden value if you look a little deeper.
 
I don't mind having a few ups and downs with another member here, getting over it, and moving on. Some of my best trainer friends I've met on dog boards were folks I didn't agree with much at all when we first met. But, we found a common ground along the way (a love of dogs) and started sharing information from our different perspectives. Variety and differing perspectives make things interesting.
 
Otherwise you are just preaching to the choir, and the conversations become boring, limited and repetitious.
 
While I have little tolerance for those who have no interest in discussing the forum topics, yet repeatedly come here with an agenda, ignore the rules, bait, and offer up nothing but little one liner jabs, I also don't find the over-the-top personal disagreements and excess verbage during those moments productive either. IMO
 
It makes it difficult to get past the disagreement and back to a productive discussion.
 
We are all responsible for our own actions and behavior. Dog training and/or social and behavior expertise, are skills. Bad human behavior is simply bad human behavior.
 
I am only responsible for my own. I'll take that rap and move on.
 
That's all I have to say about it.

Crony[] LOL

I just blocked every member of this entire forum.  Ahhh...  soooo peaceful.... Hello?  Hello?  Man... it's starting to get lonely in here.

Trevell… While can be kinda funny, at the same time I think it is sad.[&o] When I first came here I stayed FAR away from the training sections because the debates got so bad that there was no learning to be had. It got much better, but in the past month it has gotten worse again and the past two weeks have been absolutely horrible. Every training thread is full of rude comments and “laughing” at other forum members. Many of us are just plain tired of it so we are exercising our “blocking rights”
 
Unfortunately since it seems as though folks can#%92t seem to moderate themselves and continue to push the buttons of everyone else and there are apparently no moderators coming to keep everyone in line… the debates get heated and it stops the learning. I am attempting to use the “block” function so that I might still be able to participate or learn from threads in this section rather than retreating like I did many months ago. I would like to learn something and actually have considered starting a couple of threads asking some questions of the people who have experience with dog training but :
 
1)      I am worried I will be accused of baiting … (heaven forbid we ask questions or probe people for answers so that we may actually learn something)[]
2)      I  fear that my thread will start WWIII… as so many have done lately
 
 
SO for now, I just block specific members that I feel are rude and attacking and offer little to my learning. As I am a “half glass full type of gal” I do have high hopes though of some day being able to turn that “block” function off.   I guess I still have a little faith in humanity!  []

It's true Ed.  Go back and read through the thread.  Everything was rather civil until you decided to hit below the belt.

jjsmom06,

Please post your questions, we've all blocked those we don't wish to communicate with too but that's not everyone!  If your questions are not specifically CM, you can post them anywhere they fit on this board and if you don't know the moderators will move it for you.

And if it is CM specific, post it who cares what others "think" you're baiting and my guess is that if you blocked the right people you won't get the negative responses.

Jeez...this is like High School all over again[8|]
 
Some of the smartest or experienced people might not be good at spelling or are crafty with a pc. No reason to hack them apart.
 
It must be nice to be perfect........[8|]
