I like watching the Dog Whisperer, but I will not use many of his methods in my household.

I bought his book, and attempted a few of his techniques but was not happy with the outcomes. For example, I used a slip lead or "show leash" on bentley as a puppy to aid with walking and all it did was gag him.

I do use the "shh" and agree with "calm, assertive" energy.. but as far as the other methods go.. I agree with some and not others.

I much prefer Tamar Gellar and her positive methods. The Loved Dog is a great tool, IMO.
