[nagdu] howling was RE: Amazing dogs?

Hannah, my understanding is that doing this is an older style of
training. I am not sure if this is so yet or not. But maybe instead of
being so agressive to her, try more of a possitive reinforcement. This
might get her attenchen better. It is to me like, if you have a kid
and they smart off to you, instead of popping them in the mouth and
yelling at them, stay calm and talk calmly to them and they will be
more likely to listen. These are my thoughts, and if anyone gets their
feelings hurt, that is not my intenchens.
