[quote=Anonymous]His techniques work but people hate acknowledging that dogs are pack animals and not humans. Scientists have studied dog behavior for many years and fundamentally they think and understand differently than humans.  Cesar approaches training and dogs the way a mother or leader dog would.  It’s not always pretty but it’s what happens in the natural world.  He is also very intuned to subtle dog signals like hackles, ear direction, body positioning, facial tightness, etc to be able to see what is about to happen and stops it, or tries to, before it does.  He encourages good behavior, not bad and always gives the dog a purpose or job.  Humans don’t always want to hear this or like to think their dog doesn’t need a job or purpose.  This is where you can get a lot of bad behaviors, fears, or anxieties.  We would rather medicate and perhaps send away to board and trains rather than educate ourselves on rearing a dog.  So enter the world of strictly positive and force free trainers.  Not all bad in my opinion, but in another camp.  I’ve done years of dog training with trainers from all sides of the training spectrum.  The best in my opinion are the balanced ones and understand that a dog, no matter what size and how cute, is a dog, and to have a great relationship with them, we need to approach them as a dog and not a human.  But I guess until humans realize they might be a little broken too, we will break some dogs in the process.  [/quote]
