In article ,
enlightened us with... Ditto from me, Cheryl. People claim all the time that training cannot be done, but it can. It depends on where your priorities are and how much you love your animals. All animals can be trained. Not all humans can train any given animal. Some require a lot more patience and time than others, and they each respond to different methods differently. It depends both on the human and on the animal. Some animals respond very well to positive only training and some decide they don't care enough for treats to do as you ask (they have more fun NOT doing it). Some dogs respond very poorly to force training (e.g. the jerk and shove method) and some are just fine with it and may only respond to that method. Anyone who claims all animals respond equally well to any training method hasn't worked with a large enough variety of animals. Many people lack the patience for training an animal that doesn't respond to the "Traditional" training they are used to, whether it be PP or punishment. Others lack the consistency required for good training. You can't really teach a person how to be more patient or consistent - they have to be willing to work at their own personality, too. / my 2 cents ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ Jesus saves, Allah protects, and Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- |
