I have found of late, that this forum is getting extremely personal, and for this reason I do not feel that I want to continue offering advice or my opinion.

I have never purported to be an expert on dog behaviour, and have only ever tried to pass on what I have learned, for the benefit of others. To be accused of being self opinionated, and I believe 'up myself' is enough for me to bow out now.

I wish this forum all the luck in the world, and may pop by every now and then, to pick up on animal abuse stories.
