| NEW Koehler Dunking Please disregard my other post on this. I gave too many poll options and it no longer makes sense.
On another forum I'm on there's a discussion of the KMODT (The Koehler Method of Dog Training) a method that took many techniques that had been in existence for many years and placed them into an organized step-by-step system of training a dog.
Among the methods he discusses were dunking the dog's head into a hole filled with water to get him to stop digging. He advocated first, running the dog thorugh his 13 week-long-basic-course and said doing so would solve most digging problems. Koehler ONLY advised using this dunking method if the owner was to have the dog PTS if the digging did not stop.
In answering the poll questions please don't consider the owner's decision to put the dog down . His motivation as to why he's making this decision is irrelevant as far as the poll answers go. If you wish to comment on the owner's decision, feel free to do so after answering the poll. Please answer the poll based on the premise that the ONLY two choices were "stop digging or die." |
