Odd response from you I have to say John
When I am asked about the applications I use I am always happy to openly explain and discuss them, I asked you questions which were not confrontational, I asked them out of interest.

There may be differences in health considerations and treatments applied for behaviour issues between us in UK and yourselves over the pond, I thought comparing would be interesting.

In your rather defensive response and refusal to answer something so basic unfortunately I can only conclude at this time that you do not consider medical factors at all

Regarding your collar, I noticed what appears on the surface to be similarity to Millans Illusion collar, I asked how yours differs in order to better appreciate your explanation of the design theory.

Regarding long lines, having used and taught the use of them for a considerable number of years I feel absolutely justified in my comments in that regard as I have the experience to back it up.

As for your patronising assumption on my experience, just to enlighten you, I have specialised particularly in rehab for aggression issues including human and dog aggression, plus other behavioural issues, [ for nearly 30 years ], have much experience in the area of Working dogs [ including Protection ], just short of a decade teaching Agility and using it as a therapy for dogs with issues as and when beneficial to the dog, [ and being a long time qualified Judge ], and deaf dog handling, predominantly for deaf dogs with aggression and other issues.

But hey, what would I know about understanding dogs as far as you are concerned. And as for reading them, sorry John but as someone who owns four deaf dogs and worked through their previous abuse induced issues [ a couple of decades work altogether just of my own dogs ], and living every single day with dogs for whom reading and understanding their body language is more my first language than English is, well I think I can more than dispute your comments on that score.

What a shame that instead of an interesting discussion comparing notes your rather abrasive, dismissive, and I have to say arrogant response has said all I need to know to fill in the gaps which you have clearly left wide open for speculation.

However should the opportunity ever arise that we can `meet face to face for a more accountable dialog`, I would welcome it, I`m sure that would benefit you greatly [ that`s a right back atcha in case that sounds too subtle ] - but please do leave your ego behind as human ego is the single most preventative cause of getting in the way of what dogs try to communicate for us to learn from and to understand why they do the things that they do and how to guide them away from the things which would result in harm to themselves or others.

Until then, have a nice day now
