But I have demonstrated clicker training on stranger's dogs when we start talking in the park.

Most of them are "old school". When I see someone new with a dog, I try to steer them to my positive trainer for socialization and classes. However, instead, they tend to go to the very local and very traditional trainer or they don't train their dogs at KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247022130749091471.post-50709567403726503472015-12-08T07:31:06.014-08:002015-12-08T07:31:06.014-08:00I couldn't agree more.
