I have his book and two of his DVDs and I think for the most part he has good ideas but walking my two dogs for the time he suggest would give them both heat stroke here in Florida!!!!! And I keep both of them in full coat so it would just be too hard on them to do the walking thing.
I do belive in the "packleader" rule...........I love my babies but they are in my pack and know their position with me. On the otherhand, my husband can not master the packleader position and they do not listen to him as well.
I think he has some good points and some points that I do not agree with but if you find something is useful and working for YOU PERSONALLY, then I feel use it. I can't say I do the "exercise, discipline, affection" in that order but it's not like I have that big a problem with them either.
The only problem I have is the aggression my little Toby has with other dogs and so I purchased his DVD on aggression and I will see how he suggests to remedy or improve this behavior. Toby is not aggressive with his sister Kallie, just with other dogs he is not familiar with. So we'll see what he has to say.
