I agree with everyone is entitled to their own opinion but when posting I can get away with saying positive works and the fall out is nil and the danger is nil and it will take time as it is slower. You have more room to correct mistakes in your training... ok at the amateur level. You get high end trialing dogs you have no room for mistakes but that not a pet dog that is differnt.
With alpha rolls, prong collars, e Collars, spray collars... there is a fall out and it not always safe, good and can damage a dog.
As long as one can say yes this works but the risks are... dog can shut down, bad behaviour can pop up else were, fear can be increased, aggresion can be increased, going to a bite can be increased.... Then someone you are telling try this knows the risks... Oh and cause Cesar does it ( I know you did not say this) is not a good reason to do it to a dog cause that fellow does not always know the fall out or see a dog in shut down.
You be right on the if it works for kids it works for dogs....
Again it is ok to use what you want on your dog at anytime as he your belonging but when advice is give make sure those getting the advice know the fall out with some methods can lead a dog to be put down and has.
