not sure if i would feel RESPONSIBLE, but would certainly not feel good!

What emphasis was put on development of the domestic dog?
What grade did you achieve and what was your dissertation topic (provided you passed with Hons)?
Adam barely scraped through with a "pass" grade and certainly did not pass "with honours".

Why then are sales of e collars going up 30% year on year?
Why are prong collars becoming increasingly popular?
If reward based is so good and you don't need anything else how come averisve seems to be the new thing?

Where are the figures for this?

It could be anything from a sound, to a command, uttered gruffly (for chasing things or going for something that could be dangerous, I use a very gruff 'leave it!'). For everything else, I use a firm 'no!'

You are however free to explain in what way you feel my source incorrect. Mind you that may prove rather difficult as the fact remains that the course WAS mainly large/zoo animal based and you barely scraped a pass.

Odd phrasing from someone who should know for definite.
Are you a real person Adam or a figment of someones imagination?
