I was too soft on my previous dogs, treating them like babies, refusing to see problems and paid the price for it. Its true acting calm and assertive changes you alot. People actually listen to you. there is no need to shout to get your point of veiw across, people treat you with respect. I know this as I used to be the meekest kind of person who let others control me and my life, now I control it, I respect others right to have a different opinion to me but I dont let them force that opinion on me, and thats all down to Cm methods. Every trainer will have some dogs react differently or unexpectidly, the measure is in how they learn from those incidents instead of walking away and saying its the owners fault for not adhering to their methods.

good points. and yes more people could take the hint from Cesar when it come to dealing with children. It is our job to guide our children not coddle them.
