I read here the USDA link for breeders-are these for sure puppy mills? I found my breeders name among them! My puppy is healthy & very loving.But it sure upsets me.

I don't know about this "shoving your hand down his throat, " I know if someone did that to me I would bite them for sure."That is a well-written article. I especially like this advice: "It does not require any added aversive -- yelling, popping the nose or chin, shoving your hand down his throat, or spraying with water." I hear of so many people, not necessarily on SM, but in general, hitting or "popping" their dogs. It just breaks my heart..... I believe this was considered OK many years ago but is now out of favor..... Glad of that![/B]
I agree... Back in 1990 when I got my first Maltese, I had a terrible time with the biting.... I had a trainer come to the house and one of the things she told me to do was to put my finger in the dog's throat and gag her.... YUK!! There was no way I was going to do that!Originally posted by Chelsey@Mar 21 2005, 05:16 PM
