        Any plan to correct a perceived problem that fails to take it into account is doomed to fail. Marx is a great example of this

        Starr had been hunting for something anything, to bring down Clinton and he had managed to successfully dodge every bullet with his name on it. To engage in oral intercourse with Lewinsky in the Oval ... more
    - LOL... — Sprout, Wed Nov 29 2:10pm
      
      So, I guess if the dog chews up the slippers and you punish him for it tomorrow that is "immediate" to you.... Might want to look up the definition of that word.

        Takes more than a few hours or days to file a lawsuit. In any case, whether it took an hour or a week, it failed to reform Weinstein or prevent him from committing the same sexual assaults again and... more
      - Yes, it takes more than a few hours or days — Sprout, Wed Nov 29 3:14pm

        A lack of immediacy is a significant problem in training, whether it be humans or dogs. Immediacy in correction is what BEST enables the trainee to mentally connect the penalty to be behavior. Just... more
        HUMANS understand language. They do NOT require — Sia☺giah, Mon Dec 4 2:42am
        
        rolled up newspapers hitting their noses to correct them. Humans GET IT even years later. That's the nature of humans. Are you actually a canine, causing you to relate to dog behavior training for... more
        The concept is IMMEDIACY... not one of communication tools.. — Sprout, Tue Dec 5 10:41am
        
        Language later does NOT have the same effect as language immediately... Or do you think waiting till later to correct behavior is the better method?
        You believe language is not a correction. — HeavyHemi, Tue Dec 5 12:03pm
        
        You believe the only form of correction is some sort of instant physical response. Too you simply saying no, is 'maybe'. Kids now days...
        Language can be a correction IF it is — Sprout, Tue Dec 5 12:10pm

        I'll get back to you in a week or so... that's "immediate"... LOL
        You demanding a word has only one meaning is funny. — HeavyHemi, Thu Nov 30 1:47pm
        
        Because that seems to only happen when you can't defend your point unless you demand only a single narrow interpretation of the word instead of how everyone else uses it. There's a reason you just... more
