[nagdu] Why I decided not to owner train.

[debby phillips]

I do not think of my school as the "big brother" program.  That 
smacks of paranoia to me.  It's just as valid a choice to go to a 
school to get training as it is to owner train but calling a 
program a "big brother" program is definitely derogatory.  I'm 
not trying to start a war here, but I get the feeling from some 
folks that owner train that maybe they're just a little bit 
better than the rest of us poor slobs who don't have the time, 
inclination or whatever to owner train.  As I wrote in an earlier 
email, it takes commitment to decide to go to a school and train 
with a dog.  For those who owner train, great, more power to you! 
But please don't act superior because you have chosen to owner 
train.    Debby and Neena the Golden
