Man I'm starting to think that even an average joe like myself knows more about dogs & their behavior then he does.
Exp the EPs about the cattle dogs, exp the one where the dog pinned his owner while she was turning the bed down. There cm was crapping his pants as he stepped fwd with a tennis racket or something. I don't know about any other breed as well as this one & I could've seen that go very bad for everyone very quickly because cattle dogs are bred to meet force WITH Force.

In answer to KW in respect of 'dog savvy' becoming a sales term, I think the other two have actually taken that mantle. Dog savvy is a term in general use and, to be honest, I doubt there are many out there that wouldn't expect a dog trainer to be dog savvy and would possibly think it a bit silly to promote that they are
I agree with you too
