Hey,

Thanks for the advice guys.

Clob: Thanks for the offer, it is greatly appreciated but I don't like the use of e-collars so don't think it's the right option for me.

Scratches head.....pauses....reads again....I think the best bet is to go back to P1 and read through again Brierley. I don't undrestand anything you have written in the context of whats been said.

I had realised straight away that I had confused the two cases you reported on Denis so removed the post within two minutes (that'll teach me not to skim read )

OK thats fine.

If this is the westie you mentioned, I turst you are insured and I trust the dog has had a vet check.

(By the way, the info you sent against positive training to defra included a staffie; I remember the case and the lady was told by you she was drunk! Poor woman. You also said yes, her dog should be put to sleep (you are clever at editing as you missed that out of your quote!!).Also her dogs was helped by an APBC behaviourist - she came on later to give an update. She was upset by your recommendations, not helped).

Thanks for all you advice. I emailed a few trainers who are registered with the APDT and a lady got back to me so I'll be going along to the class on thursday!

Good luck, hope you enjoy it!
