Ask a question on Facebook about anything and the opinion posts come flooding in. Ask a question on dogs and the divide on philosophies and ideologies abound. People abusing people they don’t even know because they have made a choice that is different to theirs.

I stopped responding and offer advice on forums such as these long ago. I am proud and stand by the way I train and teach others and rehabilitate dogs but I do not feel the need to put others that have a different way from me down.

My results speak for themselves and the feedback I receive makes me always strive to do better and to improve techniques in fact I am constantly growing in self and through what I learn.

So, what is in it for those that try and cut others down. One would think that if you had a problem, falling sales, less clients any downturn in business you would turn the focus on yourself and what you could do better – wouldn’t you?

If I had a magic pill to give each client I would be a rich woman today. Instead I rely on over 4 decades of knowing and sharing my life with dogs, many, many, dogs. I ask questions such as age and environment, rescue or not, what does the client want to achieve and so much more. Education also plays a part not only in experience but in academic sciences. This opens my mind and look at the whole animal and how we can best adapt it into our world.
