This may be old news, but it's still worth sharing with all of you. It seems that the
BBC has issued a formal apology over one of their recent programs. Complaints poured into the network after they aired the series
Bring Your Husband To Heel. The series employed professional dog trainer, Annie Clayton, to help frustrated wives communicate with their husbands using dog training techniques. Only at the end of the training exercises were the husbands told they had had dog training used on their psyche. The outcry of sexist and discriminatory programming had the
BBC under fire. Many men's groups were outraged saying that if this type of programming had targeted women, it would never have aired. More links to the story

I've trained dogs for nearly a year now. Ladies, let me tell you, I've had absolutely NO LUCK with it on one particular man. Maybe I just need to get a louder clicker!!
