[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As a biologist, I recommend Karen Pryor's training books, rooted in experimental science, as well as Patricia McConnell's behavioral science book, The Other End of the Leash. The pack animal and dominance theory has been oversimplified and not well applied to domesticated animals. I don't recommend you base your training on it. What matters most, OP, is that you understand your dog's signals as an individual, and that he understands yours as an individual. This is the beauty of canine: they are capable of connecting with humans beyond a list of prompts. [/quote] As someone who works in animal welfare, I agree with these recommendations![/quote]
