Actually, the reason that dog trainers recommend using a rolled-up newspaper to punish a misbehaving animal...
Okay, so I shouldn't have called you "clueless." You are really one to talk, though, dude. You were asking whether I was "kin to Dick Cheney."
...the priority right now is clarifying that contact methods of discipline are not in the same category as abuse or assault.
*headdesks* Okay, Orleander...okay...I am going to put this in terms that even you can understand.I'm sorry. I had my husband read it and I did misunderstand.
It's not important.But I don't see what your sex life has to do with the main point of this whole thread. I don't think, like the dog raising, that its relevant.
*headdesks* okay, orleander...okay...i am going to put this in terms that even you can understand.
i am sorry that i accused you of being dishonest on purpose. now i know that you do this by accident.
i think that you are a very nice, simple person. you will make a really awesome mom one day. i am glad that you have a nice, patient husband who understands you.
Hey hey..be careful, you're assaulting yourself here! Might be losing some IQ points as well.*headdesks*
Well, I used to do this, but I eventually realized that it is normally unproductive to strike an animal with the intention of causing the animal to fear you. Ultimately, the animal wants to "win." They function much better, in the long-run, if you simply get them to like you, and demonstrate to them what the "rules" are for "winning."So you woud hit a dog if it didnt do what you wanted it to do... i ant a bit surprized.!!!
I teach my animals to enjoy being challenged. They tend to become frustrated if a workout lacks energy or sophistication.The instent my dog showed a lack of interest in learnin som new an complicated trick... i immediately switched to a simple trick that she alredy knew how to do an gave her a treet an pats... i kep the trainin sessions fun for her... not like you or you'r dog trainers...
We can learn a lot of things about humans by studying dogs. Although children are much more challenging to rear than children are, they are not entirely unlike each other.AURGH!!! dogs are irrelevant to this thread.
...then dont be so quick to dissmiss (slam/insult)those of us who are different..
this is not a place to force an opinion on others..its a place to discuss them..

I said I am sorry. I did not know that you had so much trouble with complex ideas. Like I said, I was only angry at Q. You're just frustrating.are you kidding me??!!! I haven't done the name calling, talk to ACRoach.

And how is stating my opinion forcing an opinion?
How do you force an opinion on a forum?
by demeaning,insulting,or verbally assaulting another users opinion you are trying to intimidate/humiliate them into changing their opinion or at the very least to scare them into shutting up..the only thing it actually does is degenerates the topic into a bunch of emotionally charged insults/slams going back and forth..go back and read..see where the disscussion ended and the slamming began....it started with you slamming/insulting me..inapropriate to any point..it was just an emotion filled statement not made to do anything but verbally attack the target..which is very counter-productive to ANY valid arguement..
do you have a point to make? or are you just happy to insult everybody that you dont agree with....
I have learned that my dogs tend to enjoy higher cognitive plasticity and better behavioral patterns if they are not struck outside of high-energy play. My experience with these animals correlates with the study posted in the OP.no, you can't. You especially can't learn if spanking lowers the child's IQ from dogs
Actually, I don't think that Orleander understands why we think that Q was being rude. Orley just showed up at the wrong time, while I was still worked up after dealing with Q. That's all.post 283 and sorry it was Q that started it..you just agreed with her

On the other hand, I would also like to note that I have correlated high-adrenaline exercise with more expressive personalities and greater learning plasticity later in life.
