If it is indeed true, then I'll change my own dog's diet and wean him onto something else, however, I haven't heard anything that suggests the practice method of that product and I haven't had any negative experience with my own dog (or any other dog that I recommended* the owner to buy for)
Iams/Eukanuba recall as at least 10 dogs die of Kidney failure
I'm Stunned (Iams testing pet foods)
Iams... the suffering behind the 'science'
That to me is a bit unfair, I haven't tried to turn anybody's comments around and I haven't asked anyone for their qualifications/experience as I find it highly irrelevant.
So why did you feel the need to introduce yourself as you did and bring in doing the same course as two from Dog Borstal, [ like that would do you any favours
], and make a show of `paper credentials` as though that is all important ?
It may not have been your intent to do that but its how you are coming across and you can`t or won`t see it no matter how many people try to guide you on this aspect of how you are making yourself appear
Sadly, I don't appreciate the tone in which they are giving information and I don't like the fact that I am more often than not, arguing on this forum as opposed to learning.
So none of it is down to your tone from the word go ?
Its everyone else but never you ?
You don`t think perhaps you are being responded to `like for like` ?
The difference so far is that when you are responded to in the same manner as you come across, you get rude, start name calling, and have a tantrum. Yet those you are doing that to are still giving you the time of day. Think about it...
Yes I'm stubborn and I think some people here spend way too much up on their high horses that they think they have the immediate right to say "you're wrong" without backing it up.
Comments disagreeing with you
are backed up, explanations of why your statements, [ whichever they may be ], are disagreed with have been given in detail - the contents which you consider `pedantic nitpicking` are actually discussion, views, and experiences which back up
why another poster may disagree with something you have written.
But I also learn exceedingly quickly and I'm open minded enough to take on board things that I may not understand right away,
Have`nt seen much of that yet
but again, I don't appreciate in how a lot of the information is given and I rarely tolerate people so pedantic who are just trying to spoil for a fight,
forcing their opinions down mine, and anyone who is reading, throat like some deranged Jehovah's witness hellbent on conforming everyone to their own thinking.
Its
you who is doing that Steve, that`s the problem, you are treating us like clueless numpties, how many times does that need to be said before you realise it`s what you do whether you mean to or not
I simply started a thread as a helpful post and I have been insulted, made fun of and unfairly questioned for doing so. I know it was a discussion, but frankly, if this is how discussions on Dogsey takes place, then I'd rather find another forum to learn from as well as try and help on.
or maybe take some time to read articles and threads already on Dogsey so you can see that members here are not quite as dumb about dogs as you imply with your posts ? [ again, that may not be your intent but it`s what you have been doing nonetheless
].
