my post incorrectly. This video really confirms what I wrote and our psychological training teaching humans to be the 'pack leader' rather than denying it. |
You and I could go around and around on this all day and week and year.
Fact is as Cindy very much better said that there are all to many truly trained Behaviourist that are out there that do not use your methods and work much slower and repect the animal for it true nature. Have no need to slap on a choke chain that can kill or do long term damage to small throats.
As to Dr Mech he only talks about domince in a pack that is not funtioning the right way as in Yellowstone. You may want to track down his whole article.
I add not only Eddie and Mike train from postive but so do I and have had great success with a few tough breeds as have a number of my associates.
You may want to pop over to Karen Pryors web site and have a look see.
Or you tube search Miranda Bourque have a look at hands off stuff. Tougher but a lot more fun and training should be fun even in aggression work.
