OK, I'll give you my secret to Doggy Discipline, in the fervent hope you'll
stop posting this nonsense to non-dog-related newsgroups. The technique
for developing a well-behaved puppy is so profound yet so simple you'll be
surprised you didn't think of it yourself years ago; the method is
foolproof, permanent, and relatively inexpensive compared to months of
obedience training, purchasing books, leashes etc. Ready for the real info,
the fundamental puppy-training insight? Well, here it is, in a single word:

Taxidermy.

That's it. A breath or two of "calming gas", a few nips and tucks and no
more bad behaviour or inappropriate barking! Fido will forever have that
puppy-like glow in his little glassy eyes and will always be "best of show",
at least for one particular pose.

Now go away.
