I’m appalled by how many rescues know squat about training, punishment fallout, etc. D:

It's depressing! Especially when it's hard to find a pit bull/GSD rescue that doesn't say "oh, well, this breed NEEDS a firm hand," and it's like noooo.

I always forget that my state is actually considered progressive, esp when it comes to education. Evolution is part of science, so it’s taught in science classes. Real sex ed is mandatory, and taught in many grades. None of this abstinence only BS.

The only two states I've really lived in are Arizona and Nevada (aka "what are these tree things you speak of?" land) and both have a "lol whatever" approach to schooling. Subsequently: evolution is ONLY A THEORY!!! and GAYS ARE DESTROYING SOCIETY.

I was homeschooled w/ a Christian curriculum; internet cleared up resulting issues.

Hah, right? :D Internet and atheism were my saving graces.

SIGH. Nat Geo, go to your room RIGHT NOW.

AND NEVER COME BACK OUT.

they also have a new abusive training show called Alpha Dog on top of their Cesar show. FUCK NATGEO

The one about military dogs? I saw a ton of commercials for it on Animal Planet. How much animal abuse does one channel NEED? 

I caught a glimpse of Cesar's new show and he was working with rescue. How the hell do you run a rescue and be completely clueless about dog behavior? Seriously.

I’ve read that Pol got his show because his nephew works for NatGeo or something ridiculous like that. He wasn’t actually recommended by real vets or even scouted for being charismatic. Idk, NatGeo is terrible…

That doesn't surprise me in the least. I hope the situation gets more coverage and the ratings tank.

:( But why say no?! I once conditioned a dog to dremel in 2 ten min sessions!

I don't know! :[ He's a VERY food motivated dog, so I don't think it'd take very long at all. But she wanted it done wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am even though I don't think she had anywhere important to be. =/

I'll call her in a few weeks and try to see if she'll let me work with him in the evenings some. Because he really was miserable and I don't want to do that to him again.

People SPIT in their dogs’ food?????

Yep! Most dominance believers think that simply eating before your dog is enough, but some people think that spit sharing is the Supreme Act Of Dominance or some shit.

HAha my gosh I remember on an episode of IMOTD some toughdude was convinced his dogs wouldn’t eat their food if his scent wasn’t on it. Victoria had someone else prepare the food just to prove him wrong hahaha

Macho owners make the best It's Me Or The Dog episodes. I find great pleasure seeing Victoria be all "I can be a much bigger asshole than you can be, douchewaffle." :D

You don’t have to spit in the food, just mix the food by hand so your scent is on every morsel. (Cesar does this!)

Oh really? I wonder who came up with the spit thing then. Maybe the dogbreedinfo website or similar?

They’re BOTH wrong. MY methods are RIGHT. I put my horse in the tub and pee on him. Now I’m the alpha mare!

I love you. :D

Tbh, I'm waiting for NHers to start spitting in their horse's food like some of the charming Millan fans do. Can't let those devious animals get to thinkin' they're the boss, yanno.

I ride my horse bareback with a halter and reins clipped to it and I’m pretty sure she could do everything those horses could do without a hiccup

Molko is usually ridden in a bitless; that's the only piece of equipment I use on him, and that's for the purpose of giving cues taught via +R.

But hey, what do we know? Obviously we've never seen a horse in our entire lives. ;)

And I’ve got vegan chocolate chip cookies. *offers*

I would sell my soul for vegan cookies right now. ;-; Please come bake me ALL THE VEGAN DESSERTS. I will provide you free housing and whine to you about dumb people with animals.

“Do your research” from someone who doesn’t know fuck all. How quaint.

BUT LEVERAGED BITS DON'T HURT THE HORSE! They're made of fairy dust that convinces the horse to behave with no reliance on pain whatsoever. Now, drop and give me a 150,000 word essay on the history and use of every training aid ever.
