and good for you for training them right and providing appropriate

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.
