This thread and accusing everyone who has used a prong collar in training their dogs, on the other hand, is what I'd call "mean".
    You should reread some of your posts.

    Apart from my last post in the thread with raw meal photos, where I suggest (in the best interest of the dog) that the OP buys a decent kibble and sticks with it (which I don't believe was mean, but to each his own), I don't see how I could have possibly offended anyone?

    Compared to this:

    I saw a video of a blatantly cruel trainer posted by a member claiming the person was their trainer. Very distressing. I see prongs advertised as if they are not just sorry punitive devices that belong in the garbage.
    Seriously?

    Extremely rude of you, Elena. Particularly since you gave some bad advice yourself in one of the threads.

    I too, am not a fan of the "nobody loves me, I'm leaving" posts, but attacking a person continually is not conducive to help. And not everyone likes prongs. Some countries even ban them, you know.

    This thread was opened AFTER the OP was offended, I don't think the comment above was what made her leave. I was sarcastic, after being called a sadist for using a "punitive device" on my dog and "advertising" it.

    I didn't give any bad advice. I still don't think that eating cat food does any good to Nigredo, he is already on the heavier side. But I replied in the other thread.

    Because she's been repeatedly chastised about her dog's weight and dew claw length!

    And you don't think that's a problem? Overweight dogs can develop a series of health issues and ingrown dew claws can cause an infection. All that was suggested, was done for a good reason.

    But it's not YOUR problem. You've put your advice out there, why can't you just leave it at that?

    Yes, that's exactly what I did, didn't I?

    And then this thread, the vicious prong and prong advertising. Totally uncalled for.

    What's uncalled for is your sarcasm.

    That's how I react to drama.
