Default Internet experts

I had a long essay written-up, but it really boils down to this: Why listen to them? Why would one seek and apply the advice from a person who knows how to fix all your problems on the internet, but has never produced any actual results?

What do you mean by this? I've gotten advice from many people here and it either solved the problem or helped. I'd call that results.

**ETA** Just noticed what section this was in so ignore my comment. I've not had schutzhund training advice.

I'm sure that is true Brandi. However, it seems odd to me that people take advice from people who have more than enough trouble training their own dogs. How is it that people freely give advice when they can barely pass a SchH1 with their own dogs?

This little rant sounds kind of personal rather than just general. Who are you referring to?

I think someone's got a stick up his butt. What's wrong with giving advice? It's not like you have to follow it.
