Too funny.
Yes some pets are just lovable idiots. I have had a couple. Used the same reward based training on two labs simultaneously and one did wonderfully and the other one just continued to bumble her way through life. With really sensitive animals, yes Walter animals do have feelings, negative reinforcement can actually traumatize them, so it is important to know your animal well before selecting a training method. Unlike some trainers that cannot see beyond their own technique, one size does not fit all.
