Re: John Wade opines on dogs *too old to re-train*
re post # 6 - johnWade

hey, john! :--)

i did not want to comment solely based on a single article, so i went to other sources -
several fellow-trainers whose opinions i have found to be highly reliable are also members of the CAAPDT - the Canadian Assoc (i am not) - all immediately and individually replied that Ur posts to the CAAPDT on-line list have been (variously) Quote, *disturbing, *upsetting, *worrisome and (paraphrasing for length) *personal theory junk-science.

another source were various fellow vet-med connections local to U -
the most-general summary in one reply was that vets and vet-techs Quote, *react with horror when his name is mentioned*, unQuote, as a training or behavior resource, or reference on dogs and their behavior and/or training.

so according to my back-up resources, all of them fellow Canucks, Gooden got it pretty doggone accurately; in fact, many felt that he was too mild altogether in his portrayal and statements.

best regards,
--- terry
