"Some of Leerburg a bit extreme for the average pet owner...." You can say that again. While the owner and many of the contributors clearly know their business and have enormous experience & amazing results, some of the political views expressed leave me open-mouthed. I am not by any means to the Left of the political spectrum, but..... (I hope this comment doesn't mean that I'll be banned from their forum )

Hey roger ;D I've been wondering if you've still been around here.
Leerburg definately isn't for the average pet owner but I wouldn't knock'em. They do know their stuff about what they are there to discuss. They are there for dogs with super high drives, working dogs and dogs with severe aggression issues.

I don't deny it, Brooke, I have picked-up some useful tips from there about training our very lively Malinois.(Hope to post more about this soon) I have no difficulties with their professional knowledge & competence. It was the 'political stuff' in which it's embedded that I found rather hard to stomach. I was half expecting to see jackboots among the lists of essential equipment

So that is what Ed is wearing in his video's!!!! JK! Since I have been referred to as "The Training Nazi", maybe I should have a pair. ;D If nothing else, they would come in handy for some of the "tall tales" we occasionally hear around here by some who are just "passing through".

Roger, I nearly spilt my morning coffee! I agree, Leerburg is a very thought-provoking and educational site, but I'd never post there (probably get my little non-American self eaten up and spat out, haha).
