I was myself originally reacting to Paul Stone's notion that large,
powerful dogs could not be trained by old guys and women because
with such a dog one had to 'kick ass' in order to train or control
it, and that in order to kick ass one had to be physically stronger
than the dog.
I wasn't suggesting that an old guy or a woman couldn't kick the ass
of a dog. It's like the elephant who you tie to a post when they are
little... sooner or later they stop trying to tug away the little
chain, even though, at full growth, they easily could. Train a dog
early, you won't have a problem because he knows who is boss. You
have to show him who's boss though. Because everyone knows you can't
teach an old dog new tricks -- and in this instance, I'm really
talking about dogs, not old guys... or women. But showing a dog who
is boss may only require figurative ass-kicking.
