I suppose it takes all kinds. But for my money nothing makes for a happier or more confident dog than one who absolutely knows what's expected an is given the opportunity to demonstrate it. It's certainly hard for me to imagine "hurting" this dog. It seems like Ir would be counterproductive to my goals. For what it's worth- this one can take way more than I can dish out- and if I think she's being stubborn- it usuall means I need to reteach, as she is defaulting to what she "knows works" and doesn't give a fuck about getting burned down about it.
