Once again, discussion between trainers goes off the track and the OP is probably wondering what the hell hit them.

This is another good example of Ian Dunbar's comment about discussions with trainers online being worse than pointless. :wink:

If you want to resolve the differences in your training philosophies guys perhaps it might be best to start your own topic.

i took on everyone's advice about the long leash and ordered one over the weekend. it's an 11m loose lead so hopefully that will teach him that there is no other option but to come when i call.

Good.

I was going to post more, but I was interstate doing my first block for the NDTF course... I was going to expand at the airport but my CC wouldn't work on the airports wireless system.

I honestly don't give a toss if someone wants to try +R first with no punishments at all (though a punishment IS motivation). I recommended the e-collar which is no different to someone else recommending another technique. Get over it.

Sorry I'm not on the PC 24/7, really, I am sorry. It won't happen again.
