IME many behavioural problems with dogs are essentially down to the owner (which Pidge has owned on several occasions). I don't understand why that would be such a shock?
I don't really see how anyone has wasted their time. After all these threads are archived and are accessible to anyone who wants to read them.

If you post on a forum expect a response. You may not like the response but that can't be helped, to me the welfare of a puppy is more important than upsetting the sensibilities of another adult.
Speaking for myself I try to give support when it is needed and as with my children if they need a reality check I will give that too ..

Of course they decided to. They chose to post what they posted. Unless someone was holding a gun to their head and forced them to type?

but would you not just get a puppy flinging its self around on the end of a rope tied to a radiator?
I had the bad luck once of seeing a young horse force tied, I felt sick.
