I am sorry that the entire list was brought into a personal discussion between me and a certain European list member today.
In response to my post that a prong collar is one option for a dog who pulls on lead, this person sent me a highly insulting and judgemental private email. She even stated that since I would advocate using a prong collar, I "did not deserve to own a dog!" Well, for someone like me, that in and of itself was about the worst insult imaginable. Naturally, I replied in kind - privately - to her. I dont know what other type of reply she expected to her inflamatory and degrading words. She then tried to take the conversation public to the list, which I feel was innappropriate. I hope in the future this list stays as friendly and informative as it usually has been in the last 5-6 years that I have enjoyed it. Vilma Briggs (Kistner) Mt.
