I know it for a fact...I do not believe in flooding, I don't believe in choke collars, prong collars etc because dogs are dogs no matter the size and I don't think you can have different standards based on the size of the dog. I don't believe in the Alpha role because I don't believe in that theory because they have proven it is bunk.
If you worked with a fear aggressive dog you would understand why what he did to that Akita was what I consider abuse. I consider it abuse to chain a dog in the backyard (state laws don't) I consider it abuse to keep a dog locked up in a kennel only large enough to move around in (state laws don't) I consider it abuse to keep pumping out puppies year after year (state laws don't)..I could go on with the list of things that I believe are abuse .. |
Yorkiemother is claiming that Cesar is guilty of physical injurous abuse. That is what we are discussing.
I suppose anytime you do something that a dog is not happy with could be considered abuse. Some people consider eating in front of a dog and not sharing the food to be abusive.
And they h ave not proven anything of the sort. They just have their own theory. Nothing has been proven.
When ever there is a group of animals or people living together, there is going to be a leader. In the case of dogs, the leader eats first, the leader leads the pack. Where ever he/she goes, they go, by choice. If an unstable dog enters the pack, the leader will take care of him/her. he/she will either conform or be run off or killed.
They could not live together if there were not rules and a leader to enforce the rules.
The problem arrises when a pup has been removed fom his mother at 5 to 6 weeks of age before he has been taught proper dog behavior and language. They are taken into homes where they are cuddled and pampered until they mess on the floor and then theyh are kicked and chained outside. If they are fortunate, someone feeds and waters them regularly.
They do not understand human ways ecause nothing makes sense to them. hey do not understand or exhibit normal dog body language because they have never learned it. It must be awfully difficult to work with those dogs because they do not exhibit normal dog behavior, not do they know how rto read the trainers body language.
No matter how many aggressive dogs you have worked with, I doubt that it is anywhere near the number that Cesar has.
