The dominance theory was based on wolves from a study that was flawed..even if you don't want to study about that information which comes from people with PHD's dogs were domesticated over 316,000 years ago...just how long do you think these traits are going to last in a dog...what about humans from 316,000 years...don't you think we have all evolved...please do your dogs a favor and pick up some books on positive training and also read about the flawed thinking based on a group of wolves.
This was man 316,000 years ago..so I would guess there have been some changes made and new ways of thinking. |
I did not bring it back up. someone, posted a serious question, Looking for a serious answer.
The fact that you do not believe in the dominance theory does not mean it is not factual. You might get a kick out of watching your dogs hump your leg, but some of us do not.
For those who do not want this behavior to continue there is a solution.
Is there really any harm in the advice I posted? Will it hurt the dog if she gives it a try? If indeed the dominance theory is outdated then I guess it won't work for her and she can give the dog a teddy bear and post videos on youtube.
There are also people with PHD's that do believe in the dominance theory. There is a man that actually lived with a pack of wolves and experienced their heirarchy first hand.
I don't follow along behind you and attempt to discredit everything you say, why do you feel the need to discredit everything I say.
You all had your fun. I went back and found a thread where the OP had posted on a thread with this same topic previously, leading me to believe that she started this thread just to stir things up.
While you all were on here having your fun, I was off answering serious PM's from people who were wanting a straight answer but were afraid to ask for fear if being ridiculed.
