[QUOTE=Ben Mcfuzzylugs;2320953]But if he thought it was wrong then why put it on the show?? That is a big problem I see with him - I dont think he thought he did anything wrong[/QUOTE
Blame the NGC
How do children do that then? would you have a child apha roll a dog?
Of course not. Cesar has a few episodes about this. Basically the parents, pack leader, make it clear to the dogs that they can not come within 2m of the baby and the dogs then see the baby as pack leader too. I do not know but that is what the devil says. I know that my dogs completely ignore toddlers and babies. They know not to go anywhere near them.
put simply dogs do stuff and what happens next shapes the likelyhood of them trying the thing again
so if something nice happens then they are more likely to do it again
If something nasty happens they are less likely to try it again
also if nice thing happen they are more likely to try different things, be more confident and actually become smarter
I could not agree more
how natural is that? The RELATED cubs would NOT become the dom - because that would mean breeding with a parent
They took 5 cubs that had been raised in captivity in Canada and they flew them to Yellowstone where they met 2 adult wolves. In the new pack, one of the 8 months cubs immediately became pack leader.
perhaps not dominant at all just shy and hasnt learnt good doggy comunication? It takes confidence to submit to a stranger - if you are scared you will fight for your life
You may well be right but he was the dominant dog in his litter.
yes dogs like to run with fast stuff
but I dont see any animals in the wild just running and wasting valuable energy just for the h£ll of it - not a good survival strategy
but they do not sit in an apartment all day either

He isnt the 1st person to say that, I kinda believe you get the dog you get - deal with it

Or we have so many issues that any dog will teach us something!
Purely exercise and rules boundaries and limitations
do you feed your dog? if you want to go into natural things then in the wild no animal just gets food for free, in many zoos now they make the animals work for their food and they are all much happier
My dogs work for their food
Always after the morning walk and then after we have eaten in the evening.
and food isnt the only way I 'control' my dogs They can run a full agility round without a scrap of food
they come back when I call them because they like being around me - sometimes I give them food, sometimes I play with a toy, sometimes I am going a different path, sometimes I want to show them something they might find interesting
In the car when we are ready to leave or change direction we just do it, as the pack leader dog would. When I call them, likewise, they come because they want to be with us. That is part of the 'job' the dogs have, to pay attention to where we are going.
You really should look into clicker training - yes it is rewarding the dog - not ness with food although thats what I use - but the clicker means you can reward the exact second the dog does the right thing so things are clearer and they understand faster
I have Motor Neurone disease so I physically can not but I think it is a great idea. I will try to get my wife to learn!
given the choice why do you pick the meaner way? we are not dogs, why not use our bigger brains to train? isnt that more natural than trying to copy another species
Because I am very imobile and my wife is very soft, the dog was out of control. There is no concept of training in Asia and although my Filipina wife tried it was not helping. She could not ever hit a dog but once she accepted that we HAD to have rules boundaries and limitations, things started to get better. Before watching Cesar she thought it was cruel to not let the dog do whatever it wanted. We may be an exception, but without Cesar, our once biting dog would be dead by now
