@fesshole xD I remember talking with some friends (also parents like me) and we all agreed that todlers are like baby dogs. I mean, it is fully accepted to say that a dog has the intelligence of a 3 year old person. Why not the other way around? I feel you. I am also a teacher and work with kids, teenagers, adults and elders

@leoschuldiner23 @fesshole At a small ranch rodeo once, I saw a demonstration of cattle dogs, which like sheepdogs will herd and separate animals both on their own and as commanded by whistles and hand signs. I asked one of the trainers, a middle-aged woman, how in the hell they train them so well. "Pressure and release," she answered. "Dogs, horses, kids, husbands. Doesn't matter. It's all just pressure and release."
