St. Lover, once you read the book, let me know what you think.

Good review. I had never thought about it, but it’s true that humans are the only ones who will follow an unstable leader. I like approaches to dog training that have a basis in respect for the dog.

its amazing how a dog’s intuition can be a great gift in training or just harmful depending on the trainer

Thanks for the thoughtful review! This sounds like a very good book to help understand dogs and their behavior, especially their connection to us and our own behavior.

Abby, this is something I do wrong all the time. I look at Ace instead of straight ahead. I’m always adjusting the leash, like you said.

I really admire Cesar – his ingenuity, drive, approach, and overall attitude. He has an inspiring story and his calm methods are definitely something to imitate. I agree that the laid-back, yet assertive leader is the one I am more inclined to follow and emulate.

I liken dogs to children, they spend far more time watching us than we do them.

One of the best tips I had from Chels trainer was to keep looking ahead when we walk. I was watching her, keeping her at my hip, adjusting the lead (generally due to being underconfident..) especially if I was going to turn or make a move.

He said she knew everytime I glanced down, inadvertently I was looking to her for clues and not the other way round. I was making her the leader. As I was not confident, she took on the role. I havnt read Milans books or watched his show..but Ive watched a few vids on Utube. I’ll keep an eye out for it…ta…x
