to over and over again. If you are interested in learning how dog training was done 70 years ago, please purchase Cesar Millan's work. If you are motivated to have a fun, engaging training relationship with your dog, avoid Cesar. Instead head on over to some researched based training methods that are promoted by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. Support work done by Sophia Yin, Karen Pryor, Patricia McConnell and Temple Grandin. These women actually have published research into how we communicate with animals (instead of passing on the 'wisdom' of our ancestors'). They have the added benefit of working with over 100 species with their methods. That's right. Their methods are not about dominating animals but actually the science of learning. Need further referral? These are the experts that the American Military refer to when training their dogs. These are who veterinarians interested in the field of clinical behavior refer to. Hurray! There are better ways than Cesar's! .s. The dominance theory of wolves was popularized then retracted by the biologist who studied an orphan wolf pack in captivity. Even if he hadn't, guess what? Captive orphans wolves do not behave like your dog.
