I just feel they(my dogs) are not emotionally ready. I have never heard anyone say this before about their dog and find it most interesting. How does one determine their dog is not "emotionallyt ready" for something and how do they know if their dog is "emotionally ready" for something or not? I really would like to know how you have determined that, as that would be educational and could open up a whole new realm in dog training.

Wow this is getting ridiculous. I'm starting to feel ganged up on here. Can we just stop with the GIGGLES and slander here? we are getting totally off topic and I haven't gotten any REAL advice I can use. If you all keep telling me to use a pinch collar (which I am not afraid to use, but don't know how) tell me where I can find a book that gives me techniques on how to use it in certain situations. Or are you really trying to tell me that it is such a great training tool that all I have to do is put it on and all my problems will dissapear. I think not. Nothing is that great. Do you know of any books that give you step-by-step training using a pinch collar? Or could you just substitute books and videos that use choke collars with the pinch. All this info would be more helpful then just pointing out everything I'm doing wrong and poking fun.

Basicly Loey what I think that means is that the OWNER is not emotionaly ready, now I am not saying this to be cruel, but this is the way I see it, and is a problem when you are working with dogs and owners. Some just do not understand that a good solid balanced approach is what dogs need. They get all wrapped up in their feelings and not wanting to hurt their dog, and worried the dog will end up hating them BLAH BLAH BLAH. It's easy with a dog that has no behavior issues you know a very soft dog, but you have to have some strength to get through training with a dog that is having some problems

The information you are looking for is here and can be printed off. NO ONE is ganging up on you we are trying to get you to understand what it takes to fix this problem. Yes what we have said to you is what has worked for the majority of us here with dogs who have had the problems yours are having and worse. Leerburg has more info on the pinch collar but that is the exact information we have here. We will help you learn how to use it. It is that simple that usage can be instructed in type over the internet. PLEASE DO NOT THINK WE ARE MAKING FUN OF YOU We want to help and by all the experience here you have come to the right place to ask questions. I see nothing out of controll about this thread except opinions being thrown around to come up with a method that will help you ;D

Now I am really confused. Please tell me where all the "giggles and slander" is? I was/am really interested in knowing how one can determine if a dog is emotionally ready for something or not. I don't see where I was giggling or slandering you. I'm out of here!

Okaaaaaaaaay.... I should have checked up earlier. I see this thread is going no where fast so it's time for a close.
If you'd like more info on training with a pinch prettylilpawz feel more than welcome to start another thread requesting it. I think this one is getting too off course and things are being misconstrued....
