The guy i know used pts as post track side a significant place to be for some trainers or owners he said he saw some not very nice things in the industry but he was above board he and his wife also ran a rspca approved foster home all animal related industries have thier bad and good but it's all driven by consumer demand i dont believe in cruelty towards any animal although on the other hand I can understand why some people do it greed is one reason (for mass producers) a sense of doing what they think is the right thing for the environment (as you where saying about saturday nights culling ferals) and lets not forget about callousness (as in the aholes who think it's stress relief to kick thier dogs) i understand why it happens but I don't condone it

Apologies to mrs rusty buckets source as well i misunderstood your abbreviation pts a person i know used to be involved with greyhounds and they obviously use it for something different

You all have valid points all i was stating was what I was told by an old timer who obviously believed it worked or helped with dog training and obedience and the reason for the initial post was due to a question from someone else who was asking about it on this site if it helps even in the slightest then its beneficial for both dog and owner im not saying that its the be all and dont train your dog any other way it hurts neither dog nor owner so i cant see any harm and its also not a question about blowing smoke its about being open minded to new or old possibilities

Oh and yes farting at each other does work if your into that sort of thing dont discount anything unless you have tried it people and dont discredit anyone you dont know because you might get a response you might not like i would really like to correspond with you guys on a regular basis but i won't take crap

To all you guys who disbelieve persephone never heard of the armpit thing the spotted devil soft working dogs? Kavik never heard of spitting food ! Can you feed your dogs from your mouth ? Papllon kisses alpha male and female dominance is real just watch any david attenborough show roova give yourself distance scottsmum im not kissing my dog and its only once in its lifetime not regularly skip its a rat so shoosh how can it wrestle (sorry) and mrs rusty bucket the old bloke had 20+ dogs working on his farm young and old not one bullet doesn't your trusted source talk about grey hound racing sounds like it to me pts post track side

Yep that happened when I was spitting food! He leapt up and I got a kiss with his teeth!

Sorry i dont have a pure breed but i saw a bit about spitting in your dogs mouth for training im 45 and i remember an old cocky telling me in my early teens that you spit once for obedience twice for loyalty and three times for your dog to follow you to the ends of the earth I've only ever spat twice and have had the most obedient and loyal dogs that I can ask for i know mates that have done it three times and they're dogs are loyal and obedient but there is no way they can contain them in the yard some even climb trees to get over 6-7 foot fences males always first females always second for spitting the dog will follow the alpha male for protection the alhpa female for affection or family our staffy bully crosses have never failed myself or my wife we aren't harsh with them and we don't need to punish them its worth a shot
