why do people ask questions here when they dont want a real answer, they just want to justify what they are doing is right with their dog? Why do you need justification if you are already assuming your tactics are the correct ones?

In fact i wasnt really looking for an answer i know why people do this i was just looking for the people on here that know how dogs are to be treated so in case i ever had a problem arrise i would know who's advice i should take. Being that you took offense to this i can assure that you are one of these people i was referring to so if you ever plan to answer anymore of my questions i know where to put your advice THANKS

Believer... i BELIEVE that those who will justify my answer know what i am talking about and therefor they to are frustrated with this site so i am assuming the ones that answer this question in a manner that i am looking for will at least have a basic understanding of maybe not how but why dogs need certain discipline. In fact i do not ask any questions in the dog catagory i have no issues with my dog. She is healthy well trained and is certified as a security dog and a therapy dog and is now in the process of getting certified as a search and rescue dog. I trained her myself and im here to offer help to people but everyone on here doesnt like a good answer i notice to many people that give good answers that get thumbs down across the board because people dont want to put time and effort into their pets and just want a quick and easy solution. You are right my question is EXTREMELY hypocritical...but it was meant to be.

Take it more as sarcasim for the hypocrasy of the the good answers that are ruled out because people dont like what they are hearing.

So for those who need my help Ill be in the fish department. People there actually care to provide healthy homes for their animals and actually take advice from those who know what they are talking about.

If you are looking for people that know what they are talking about with dogs, why not peruse the questions and read people's answers? Unfortunately, fairy is right. You did post a question expecting answers that validate your opinion - how will that help you find people that know a lot about dogs? How will that help you determine if they answer questions well? A better "test" of us would have been to make up a question and see how we answered it.
So - if I were you and wanted to know who to trust in terms of their answers, check out goldengirl's answers, DP, dobiegang, shepherdgirl, greekman (I can't remember if I spelled that right), and several others that I know I am omitting (oh darlyngirl!). Besides, how do we know what you think is "good"?

I have to compliment your ? I cannot give you a real answer though. I am just stating that your ? is quite valid. You get nasty e-mails from the people that SAY they LOVE their animals. But when you give them a knowledgeable answer you are harassed because the truth hurts. It's pathetic. I only invested my whole life w/ animals but I don't know what I'm talking about !!!! Because they don't get the justification they want. I have mostly given up over here. I feel sorry for the poor animals. The horse people are even worse.

Because there are some people who DO ask questions who really are concerned and are looking for advise from someone else who may share some of the same experiences they are inquiring about.

I agree with you. The ones that get me are the ones who know deep down inside what they want to do is wrong but they want justification for their bad choice. I won't be much help to them with that.
My favorite - I'm moving into an apartment that is no pets - is it OK to sneak in my cat - he's really well behaved?

They don't want real information. They only want to hear from people who agree with them. As the great William Gaddis said, "Stupidity is the deliberate cultivation of ignorance".

Because they are big tools who just want to know when someone agrees with them.

Why are you asking a question like this when you are doing the exact same thing as the people you are criticizing? You don't want a real answer, do you? You are just justifying your own opinion, aren't you? Hypocrite.
