klondikesam First, I've trained dogs for 30+ years, so I know what I'm talking about. Second, pit bulls were bred to fight, in other words, the aggression is an inbred trait and there is no way to remove it--it's there to stay. My advice--unless you live in an isolated...

klondikesam There is only one certain solution: Keep the dog out of your house! It has been poorly trained--or not trained at all. But, if you insist on bringing a dog into your house--where you know it's going to urinate and end up costing you thousands of dollars down...

Do dogs grieve over a lost loved one?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 8 Oct 08

klondikesam I'm not trying to start an argument, but dogs do not love people, they do what they need to do to survive and today, that's catering to humans. Please read my response to No. 6 below. When I posted, I did not intend to respond to that particular post, but...

klondikesam I've trained dogs for over 40 years and what some people mistake for grief in dogs is nothing more than conditioning that the dog is unable to overcome or un-learn. What happens is that the dog becomes conditioned to associate food with something specific,...
