my 8 year old kid's school activity was a dog show
he had fun watching the dog tricks

problem:
he was so curious about it that he asked them how they did it
he got the answer
"dont feed the dog for three days" just so they will obey

then i thought this sure is a good way to kill a dog "play dead"
i am now wondering who gave that info
but it surely highlights the amount of knowledge that needs to be relayed

i would say this is where we as parents come in
but i would say it would have been better if he said
to just leave the training to "the professionals"
