Peter, I really wasn't going to respond to this message that I saw of yours,
about the research and all. But I have to. Here's the deal. Many of us here
are Federationists, and in a black and white world where all is as it should
be with no variables, what you are asking would be an option. There is not
research that has the data you are seeking, or not enough to make it valid.
You come on here and you spout off philosophy, valuable philosophy, but
often irrelevant to the situation. It is a serious problem if a dog is
removed from a person and there is no just cause given. But most of us are
not damaged by not being allowed to leave the dog training school whenever
we feel we want to do that. How would you handle the minors who attend some
if not all of the schools? Imagine the competitiveness that could develop
between and among those students who might well be capable after a few days
of taking the dogs out and those who really would not be. Doesn't everyone
there deserve t
 he right to be treated pretty much equally while there? Many folks leave
there with newfound confidence that might not be found if some of their
brothers and sisters were leaving right away with their dogs. Others have
mentioned the driving analogy, and trust me, each dog is a totally different
kind of car. LOL. You need to do some thinking before you post. Don't just
spout off philosophy; consider what it means sometimes in the real world.
People mostly leave the schools as responsible handlers and that's because
they are taught to walk before they learn to run. How long are we really
there?
