I don't see specifics coming from you because there aren't any. Being "calm and assertive" is not going to solve anyone's problems. I give plenty of "specifics" on this site trying to help people do everything from housetrain to leash walking. I don't recommend they watch a TV show.
As far as charging out the door, my dog doesn't do that either. Because I taught him what SIT and STAY and WAIT means using positive methods. Why would anyone choose to "correct" their dog when they can just ask for a simple command?? |
I didn't use specifics because I am not the one that said his methods were PROVEN to be bogus. You are the one that made the generalization, and I asked for specifics so we could both be discussing the same thing. It's like going into court, you made the accusation, so the burden of proof is on you, not me.
As for training my dog not to charge the door. I simply used the touch method that Cesar does. I did not kik, hit, beat, yell or use a choke chain. No physical force was involved at all. And no treats either.
They also follow me when I walk and stop when I stop and there was not even a leash involved in that. They do it simply becuase they respect me as the pack leader, and pack leaders dont give treats. Dogs don't even expect treats until we teach them that they should be rewarded for doing what is expected of them. And when they need to be reminded, all it takes is a tsssssssst and point a finger.
BTW, I never gave allowances to my children either. They did their chores simply because they were part of the family and it was expected of them. They were never beaten or bribed.
