[Chip's Mom]

Did you see the dog whisperer last night? I thought he was going to kill that dog. The dog was aggressive so it looked like he cinched the collar so tight he couldn't breathe. After the dog quieted and was laying on its side panting heavily, he loosened the collar. This was repeated more than once. I was not impressed. It seems there has got to be a better way then that to teach an animal. Just my opinion for what it is worth. I think if a dog needs exercise, exercise him; if a dog needs discipline, discipline him, however, there is more than one way to discipline an animal. (Chip has never been hit or yelled at or treated roughly) and affection and praise should be given lavishly - but that is just my recipe for raising Chip. The Vet said yesterday that Chip wasn't spoiled hhhhhhhmmmmm.
