- Seems reasonable... but, from demonstrations that I've seen it seems to
- be possible to alter the perceptions of a person under hypnosis. What
- you've said above only seems to hold up if the person under hypnosis is

- dog. Is it possible to suggest to them that the 'gun' they are being
- given is a water pistol... or that the animal is a threating tiger or
- lion...?
