Good point. Interpretation is subjective. Pointed attacks--ones we can see--are a lot easier to pick up than generalizations. And I can't resist here, Tim, generalizations like "If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much" because I have several ideas on what that can imply. Only a few of them are offensive or disrespectful to the people here with GSDs, so I'm gonna assume good faith and let it go as a forum participant.
I would encourage you and anyone else who gives a rip about this discussion (and I really hope we get back to table training or end it) to follow that link. Assume good faith. We are here in a cooperative effort to build and better knowledge.
So again, if we're missing something...and I might add that more than one of you is awfully good at putting out ambiguous statements that can be read a variety of ways...let's just all suck it up. Assume good faith. When in doubt, talk to people the same way you would unarmed, unbadged, and tied to a table. _________________ Defending n00bs everywhere since March 2006 |

Since nobody's discussing table training anymore I assume that the topic has been covered adequately. _________________ Cujo | Lÿka |
