Honey, just because you got way in over your head doesn’t make _me_ stupid and stubborn.

No where, except the million and a half times I said, “You lead your dog, you don’t let him lead you.” Fuck’s sakes … you even _quoted_ me saying it. I see. I’m supposed to guess that you insisting that everyone force their dogs to walk behind them like a slave (which is a completely retarded way to work with a dog) means that you would understand that an owner that allows their dog to drag them all about is a problem? Nice try on the sidestep BTW. The subject was training, yet you pick one sentence and try to go off on a tangent to obscure the fact that you have been shown you have no clue on the subject. [QUOTE=Jack Batty] > [@curlcoat](#): > > Also, anyone who is forcing/training their dog to walk behind them rather than ahead or beside them is looking for a slave, not a pet and certainly not a partner. And we’re done. A partner? You’re an absolute wack-a-loon. Have fun in the ER when your dogs finally turn on you. [/QUOTE] You also have a problem with a dog being a partner?

What do those two have to do with each other? Are you under the impression that training a dog requires as much physical and mental work, as well as commitment to show up five days a week, as working does? Or are you like the others here, who seem to think that disability must mean confined to bed? Sigh. It’s amazing how many people here are experts on things they have no experience with and close to no information on. And this silly board claims to be fighting ignorance. **NinetyWt** I haven’t noticed you being a vile old cow - what have I been missing? 😃 ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > How can a dog be a partner? A dog isn’t your equal. A dog’s meant to be subservient to their owner. Yes. What I meant is when one is training for most of the dog sports (obedience, agility, field work, etc) the dog and trainer become partners in the sense that they work together and each has a job to do. In my case, since I have a service dog, we have even more of a partner relationship because he has a more open ended job than a dog at an obedience trial or whatever, and he has to think for himself at times. However, neither “partner” nor “slave” is used in the literal sense in that post. BTW to those of you who jumped all over **Papsett** - I assume we will shortly be seeing a pit of **Chimera** for post #759 [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=568238&page=16)?
