<p>Howard,</p>
<p> A good colonic might be in order here to better open up some minds to the "why" of the questions asked here and the answers given. I say "Ask any question that you like and don't worry about it. Why should you? It's a place to exchange ideas and learn-nothing more! So take advantage of it! </p>

Ossain, most people,I feel,write about problems because they are worried and concerned,marshalling their thoughts doesn't come into the equation.This is particularly true if someone is feeling emotional about the topic.

<p>That is what I do at the dog park. I am always amused and amazed at how they have formed their own little packs within the place. Same people/dogs come daily at the same times. And when a first timer comes in, they have to earn their place in the groups. Some don't mind a new one, others ignore and others dominate.</p>
<p>And sometimes the dog picked on the worst winds up within weeks being the their favorite. I agree much better than television.</p>

<p>What a fascinating discussion! The interplay between the dogs, humans and other pets etc in our household (and visitors) gives me endless hours of reflection...doesn't get me very far, but its really intriguing.</p>
<p>Thank you both for an interesting insight into what goes on in your worlds : -)</p>

<p>I was stumped but Lynn reckons that his blindness meant he couldnt be sure that she wasnt around. He would still be able to smell her. She has been very rude to him in the past for being in the office and i think it wasnt so much permission as just "back up. He thought she might not be there but he wasnt takling the chance.</p>

<p>To go right back to tjhe beginning. With a trainers hat on and experience of setters you think you know loads. I sat for ages looking at this barking dog and trying everything, every neurosis or psychosis I could give him and he was really not keen to go up without backup in case somehow he had missed her coming in and she was going to tell hoim off!. Possibly if I hadnt intevened then he would have gone up on his own but of course every time he barked I was trying to attribute it to some "cause"</p>
