Re: John Wade opines on dogs *too old to re-train*

I agree with you it's shocking!

Quote:
A course of obedience classes couldn't eradicate it and when I called John up to seek his advice, he bluntly informed me that we were wasting our time. It was too late in this dog's development to get to the root of the problem and however much training we threw at him now, we would never be able to entirely trust him.

He advised us to put him down and start all over again with a puppy that we could properly train from the get go. His verdict wasn't what we wanted to hear, but eventually the truth of what he said became irrefutable and reluctantly we took his advice.
I think that is absolutely disgusting! The idea that dogs are just disposable objects that you just "throw away" when they're broken and buy a new one!

Thanks for posting this Terry- sounds like John Wade is certainly one to avoid!
