Imagine each of us is standing side by side, the next forum poster is holding my hand, the poster after that is holding their hand.
Once we have all posted in friendship, I will hold the last posters hand completing our circle of friendship in the General Forum.
Or we could just slag each other.

For you to get the most from your dog and to live in harmony together you need to train your dog. This can be a wonderful and positive experience for you both.
Dog training is one of the most important things you can do for your pet. It will greatly improve the relationship between you and your dog.
Dog training will give you a means of communicating with your dog. The most obvious way it can help with communication is by teaching your dog to respond to commands. Next time you come across your dog ripping apart your favourite pair of slippers, you will be able to use simple oral commands to stop the destruction. Dog training will also improve communication by allowing your dog to find its place within your household social hierarchy. By teaching your dog to sit and give you its paw, you are telling the dog that you are in charge. When your dog obeys your command, it is recognizing your position.
Dog training can also protect your dog. A dog that has been properly trained won't go chasing after a bouncing ball into traffic. A dog that has been properly trained won't take a nip at other dogs or pedestrians when you are out for walks. A dog that has gone through dog training will be a confident dog. You will also be able to give it more freedom to do things like run off the leash when you know it will return on your command.
Finally, dog training can be a fun activity for you and your dog to do together, a time for you to focus all your attention on your dog. It need not be a chore, and it should never resemble an extended punishment.

I don't really know I didn't read that far, I just thought Phlabby sounded kind of lonely so, I thought he might want to buy and try training a dog. I was only trying to be helpful. Sounds like you are interested already.
You DON'T know me, MAN.
