Perhaps I wasn't straight-up enough in my last reply.
Do you really think it never came to my mind to tell my dog "No?" Yeah, I have done so. However, that on its own is not getting the job done. You may have a lock on - if you say something, your dog instantly obeys. Not so for me. It is your insulting attitude that rankles me. I do NOT want you to go mouthing-off on "well I just say no, and all is solved." I don't really care how easy this is for you. Perhaps you truly are a "dog whisperer," or perhaps you are delusional. It doesn't matter if you only come back with, "it isn't that hard to do folks." Not helpful. If someone has good, useful advice on what I can employ to get a job done, I'm all ears. If someone just wants to tell the world, hey, you shouldn't be having difficulty here, just say no... that is just someone being a pain-in-the-butt know it all. I find you to repeatedly come off with a smug, superior bad attitude. You may hide behind the "I don't cuss" at people crap, but your attitude is right at the bottom of the pile. You also hide behind the "I don't care what you think of me." News flash, most people probably don't think about you, but you find they will react to you. Perhaps mommy never gave you much attention. Who knows? You treat other people with a superior condescending attitude, and this in itself makes you a low quality, low caliber person. It is said that you can judge the quality of someone by how they treat those that can do them no benefit. As far as I am concerned, you are a low quality human being.
