You were lucky there. Most of the Pet Smart trainers are just cashiers that have been put through a very brief dog training class.

She was wonderful and taught me so much and every time I visited Petsmart and saw her if I had a question she always took time to answer me and help me. I thought it was well worth it! Plus they give you a free bath and grooming, nail cut and tons of free things. She also printed out each week what I was to work on and I still have it and used it on Abbey. I was very happy with their services. thanks Nancy --- On Sun, 10/3/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Re: advice on aggression To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, October 3, 2010, 4:18 PM I would find a local trainer or even go to petsmart and talk to the trainers there they can answer most if not all your questions -- Sent from my Palm Pre _____ On Oct 3, 2010 1:46 PM, Nancy Lucky <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks Deanna I just got creamed for saying something I should not of to the lady that her chi had been thowing up - I clarified it but I am sure that I will be getting emails all day long.

No one has changed my mind yet and after watching him personally in action and meeting him I believe he is GREAT!!! I have "looked" for all the negatives that people claim about him...never been able to verify one of the "bashing rumors" that seem to circulate. As with everything I think it wise to use your own common sense. But I raised my children in ways that most people wouldn't buy in this generation either. Well..anyway I think he has some awesome advice and to be real honest that lady on "it's me or the dog" (Stillwell?) really irritataes me...I have no idea why...I guess I just really "think" more like CM.

I know that he loves each and every dog he helps. Plus I love how he raises his sons to be respectful young men and to honor him and their mother. He started out washing dogs because he believed in his gift. He took on the dogs that everyone else wanted to throw away! I did not know this group had bad feelings about him, but I am his fan and have much respect for him. I did what he recommended when my Sami was snapping at biting at my grandkids and it worked and I did not hurt him at all, but he knew that my grandkids were also leaders of our pack!

I am a HUGE fan of Cesar's!!! I don't bring him up much because he sparks controversy...mostly from those that really don't know his training methods. I think he is wonderful and I use most of his methods. There are a few that that I don't adopt but I bet there isn't a trainer out there that has a program that i would 100%agree with anyway!. He has done more for educating people on truth about Pit Bulls than any other human...I think he is great!! I have all his books and I watch him faithfully. We have visited his center on a field trip and he amazed me!!! I think he truley is a dog whisperer!!!

In the meantime, Paco was a total couch potato and didn't care where I set him. We'll start the classes in a couple of weeks and hope they help. She even bit me and drew blood recently when I tried to put her in the submissive position after she started growling. I made myself stick with in once I'd started, but I'm hoping the crate idea works better than the submissive thing did. ...thanks again, Annette --- In [email protected] <http://us.mc819.mail.yahoo.com/mc/[email protected]> , "Rylee O'Neill" <ryleeone...@...> wrote: > > 12 weeks is still very young.
