To the editor: There are only a few occurrences in life which might be “all the time” true.
Whereas the Los Angeles Occasions hasn’t labeled me a canine chunk “professional” because it did with Ron Berman, my decades-long relationship with canines leads me to dispute his rivalry that canine “aggression all the time escalates” (“L.A. shelter didn’t disclose a dog’s bite history. That cost the city $3.25 million,” Jan. 30).
Private expertise has proven me that with coaching, skilled intervention, persistence, love and presumably remedy, aggressive canine conduct could be arrested and primarily conquered, not less than in some cases.
Exaggeration by no means results in higher outcomes. Precision, nonetheless, typically does.
