Nothing In Life Is Free
Most of the members of Dogo Forum agree with NILIF training. It can be a very useful tool.   Undesirable behavior can be caused by many things, including undetected illness. No behavior modification program should begin without first taking the dog to a veterinarian for a complete physical examination. While you're there, give your vet a printed copy of this page and ask if it would be an appropriate technique for you to try. The NILIF program is an accepted standard in dog training/behavior but it is not, and is not intended to be, a substitute for an in-person, professional evaluation of your dog's behavior. This technique is intended for dogs in good health and of sound mind and stable temperament.   Click Here to read more.

A Poem about dog parks. Author Unknown
A Day At The Park
He is just like other dogs I would always say; He loves to go to the dog park to play every day
Everyone loves him there, so it's ok; My dog won't fight--he wasn't raised that way
But then one day, right before dark, A troubled young man came into the park
He had by his side the biggest dog I'd ever seen, And unfortunately for us, both were quite mean
We asked very nicely if they would just go; The dog answered with a snarl and the man with a harsh "NO!"
Well his dog was a terror, threatening to all; Then he started a fight with a Lab over a ball
They fought pretty hard and the man would not intervene; Then here comes my dog and pushes right in between
He grabbed that big dog and thrashed him around; And with one quick jerk threw him down on the ground
The Lab was able to escape; I heard everyone cheer; But my dog was now in a frenzy and would not let me near
When he finally let go, what I saw stopped my heart; That big mean dog had been torn apart
The authorities were called, the big dog was now dead; But they didn't take the big dog; they took my dog instead
We all tried to explain that my dog saved the day; But because of his breed he was taken away
You see my dog was a Pitbull and they don't get any breaks; One small incident is all that it takes
A dog had died; And though he hadn't started the fight, My dog was held responsible for what happened that night
He was deemed a danger to all and sentenced to death; And I hold him now as he takes his last breath
It's my fault that my dog is being killed today; Please listen for a moment to what I am going to say
Everyone warned me about his potential to fight; I said it won't happen, I am raising him right
And now my dog is paying the ultimate price; Because I was stubborn and wouldn't take the advice
He only did what he was bred to do; Learn from our story; don't let it happen to you.
