Should be forced viewing

This show should be forced viewing for EVERYONE who wants to get a dog (at least if they act upon that want).

Just like "Supernanny" should be forced viewing for EVERYONE who wants to reproduce and raise kids.

We should have more shows like these two, about every aspect of life, and they should all be forced viewing in schools and offices, and in every place before anyone is given the possibility of doing things.

What a paradise this world would quickly become.. (sure, there would still be the morons and idiots, like the horrible hag that thinks her dog is her REINCARNATED RELATIVE (WTF?), and who REFUSES to stop humanizing the dog and REFUSES to even LISTEN to Cesar, when he simply tells her the truth that the dog is a DOG, not a human, but it would still be much better a situation than what we have now)..

The only problem with this show and Supernanny is that once you have watched enough of the episodes and know the basics (and maybe a bit more), it's suddenly incredibly frustrating to walk on the street and mind your own business, watching these dog owners do everything wrong, watching the parents do everything wrong in supermarkets and listening to the neighbourgs yell at their kids for two hours just to get them to sleep (how easy is it to fall asleep when someone is screaming at you to go to sleep right next to you?).

These shows create added frustration, because no one can just quickly give this information to a passer-by dog-owner who lets their dogs dominate them, or a neighbourg, whose only form of discipline is to let the kids run free until they get angry at their behaviour and then suddenly yell and scream at them.

It's somehow illogical, for example, to yell at a kid: "STOP YELLING!", when you are yelling yourself (sadly, a true example), isn't it?

The kid gets two contradictory messages at the same time; 1) It's OK to yell, because daddy is yelling 2) It's NOT OK to yell, because that's what daddy is yelling..

And people wonder why teenagers are impossible! The parents raise the kids this way, so of course they will become impossible, when they get stronger and their hormones really kick in.

I bet that teenagers wouldn't be half as problematic, if they were raised properly as kids (they might not be problematic at all - they would still want to defy authority (especially in a world like this, who can blame them?), and they would still want to try their own methods, but I am willing to bet that in a good environment, properly raised kids would never grow to be as crazy as teenagers nowadays seem to be).

And before anyone gets the idea of quoting the hermit or whoever it was, who said a long time ago something about how appalling it is that teenagers don't respect their parents and yada-yada, I am willing to bet, that even back then, parents were raising them poorly. I mean, we are supposed to be more civilized and knowledgeable than people were hundreds of years ago, and the teenagers have only gotten worse every decade (yes, in my opinion the teenagers of the 1950s were NOT as crazy as teenagers nowadays, at least in behaviour).

Just imagining a world where _EVERY_ single dog owner would know and practice calm, assertive energy to be the pack leader, and where _EVERY_ parent would raise kids using Jo Frost's excellent and working techniques and good attitudes..

.. well, it really brings a sad smile to my face, and a yearning in my soul. Why does world have to be like this, why isn't this information what they teach at schools? What if it was, what kind of a wonderful world could we all live in?

It's amazing though, that as famous and as well spread these TV shows are, and as many people seem to know about them, nothing much has changed in the regular world. People still raise their kids inefficiently and completely wrong, and dog owners still let their dogs dominate the walks. EVERYWHERE you look, where there's a dog owner, it seems that there's more than 98% chance that the dog walks in front.

I am waiting for the moment when I will see a dog owner that actually knows how to walk a dog properly. I have been waiting, looking, and searching with my eyes - but that dog owner hasn't appeared as of yet. A lot of "typical" ones have, though.

As a sidenote, I even tried to help one dog owner after seeing them a couple of times (I decided that if I see them yet again some day, I will do -something-), and it was amazing how well it worked, even though I was in a low energy and really not in a good state of mind for that sort of thing, and it was the first time in my life that I even tried something like that (so there was a lot of pressure as well).

The second I did the "sssht!", the dog stopped barking immediately and looked at me like "what happened?". I didn't expect it to actually work that easily (so the dog was an easy case).

I just wish there would be at least some kind of 'Cesar Millan Dog Owner Training Centre' in every city, and a "Jo Frost Parent Technique Centre" as well.
