Connor is I dog I wished I could own. He is everything I look for in a good dog.
Take a look at this video (you may have already seen it) and watch the control and clear mind. Connor is the same way!

Safe training,

If these dogs are unsound, how is that they are passing the TT & the CGC?
People are all for Diane Jessup & her Law Dogs program. Are these dogs going to be trained in protection? I would assume so. They aren't ALL going to be detection dogs are they?
As for your 'forceful and pathetic' training methods, you obviously have absolutely NO IDEA what you are talking about. Not a clue. And I say that with complete confidence.

I tend to think that your confidence has more to do with the fact that I don't support protection work, which is your new and improved "cool thing".I assume that we have different ideas on what "forceful and pathetic" is as well, in the training field.I associate shocking a dog for obedience issues, for example, with lack of training methods and respect for the dog.So we could not agree on training practices anyway.
I will also say that some of the opinions she has are valuable, too bad she lacks of social skills and when someone act like an idiot then everything is lost.I own stun guns, high voltage for protection and less voltage in case ofemergencies between the dogs.I have 4 pit bulls in the house now, I am very careful but the potential of a serious scrap is always there.A stun gun or baton is not a cattle prod.There is a huge difference in terms of pain and direct effect.Everyone is allowed to an opinion but please get informed before you think that having this device to maybe save your dog's life is so evil or only an idiot has them.
I got it for loose dogs in particular but I will use it if I am at risk to loose one of my dogs.Those of you who never broke two or more pit bulls in full fight drive don't know how quickly damage is done.It is scary and you get to a point where you don't even have breath to move but you know that you will have to find it or you loose one of your dogs.This experience will happen to everyone who handle many bulldogs in the years.A fight doesn't make anyone a bad owner, it goes with the territory, but 3 dogs killed made me think about serious management issues.
I have never used the device on my dogs but it is charged and ready if I ever need it.It is the last of my resources as I use other methods and a breaking stick.If nothing doesn't work I know where the gun is.
I find it weird that folks who use a shocking collar often sees a problem with it but I will leave it at that.
I thought the reason Connor was referred to on this forum as "retired" from therapy was because he wanted to take a bite out of a kid's arm? Am I remembering the post where that was referred to incorrectly?

Actually, that quote was provided to me. I never saw the original thread.
I use an e-collar to proof recall and some off leash work. Ruby's hasn't been out of her training bag since Christmas when I let her run at camp in the snow. Oh, I know, with your superior training skills your dog will call off a running deer.
Connor has never been to a dog show.
es, the dogs go to dog trials, it's not a hard thing to manage - you keep people away from the crates. I don't think it is unreasonable to tell people to leave your dog alone in the crate.
The thought of random person taking him out to take a leak is pretty uncomfortable for me. Would he be okay? I'm 99% sure of it. However, that 1% is one hell of a gamble for a dog that can literally cripple you for life.

Okkkey...not only you saw that thread but you posted on it, Michelle. Actually you put some of my comments in bold right there, on the same thread, page 10.I want to believe that you honestly forgot you posted there cause I *know* you aren't such a liar.I also * know* that you won't delete what you posted now.That would be quite embarassing to do.
If someone else had the need to provide you with my comments indeed then they should also say what they have to say here.Otherwise they can shove it off.

No super training skills here, never said anything even close to that. My dogs might not be able to be called off of a dear.If I don't get to that point with respectful training methods I won't solve my lack of training skills shocking the dog.I have been tempted here and there but decided that there are other options.Maybe in the future I will improve but untill then I simply don't put my dogs in the situation to chase a deer.It is just that simple.
Connor has never been to a dog show.
Okey, I will use the word you used when a member asked if Connor goes to dog shows...dog trails.I cecked cause I was sure I have read it somewhere.
Yes, the dogs go to dog trials, it's not a hard thing to manage - you keep people away from the crates. I don't think it is unreasonable to tell people to leave your dog alone in the crate.
Now to me that is a problem, to tell people to stay away from a pit bull's crate.If it is one of my own dogs I don't need to do it but then again if I did I wouldn't probably leave the dog crated where a stranger might go near it.In dog trials people happen to walk by crates.
I think I would be embarassed in saying "oh this pit bull is nice but don't stick your fingers in the crate unless you want to loose them".
