And finally they're like, well, we've tried everything.
The best thing to do is to euthanize the dog.
And I'm like, did you ever try to even at least tell him, no, that's not a good thing to do.
Even, even a simple, no, I disapprove of you doing this.
Even this is problematic, you know?
and however i think this is how we we still are able to keep our position in this is because the trainers that do pet training would take dogs that they are basically on that row they're you know they they went through four all four three positive trainers they were on uh
SSRIs, mental psychotropic medications, they did everything besides saying, hey, stop, just really, that's a bad idea.
And to most of these dogs, that's all it takes just to say, this is okay and this is not okay.
And
we always present real cases.
Like let's say I just got a, well, it was a month ago, but I got this postcard, you know?
And this was a dog that basically was going to be put to sleep, euthanized, five years old.
Because he was trying to bite the owner and trying to just basically,
a dog that's out of control, that nobody says, hey, this is not cool to do.
We have many.
Yeah, this is not cool to do.
And the approach of the all positive is we're going to try to deflect it and we're going to reinforce good behavior and we're going to avoid the bad behavior.
However, you never really say, hey, don't do that.
You know?
And it saves the dog's life.
