Millan is a bigger idiot who subscribes to ancient beliefs about wolves and dogs that have been disproven long ago. His methods are often cruel and ineffective.
No your opinions are worthless, but others not schooled in critical thinking and unfamiliar with science my be taken in by such falsehoods. They and the dogs they own and will own mean enough to me.
Might I ask your background in this subject matter? It's very easy to criticize and poke holes in theories of someone who is actually putting their thoughts out there, open for criticism. I only think that's fair. Plus I'm just curious.
I do think it's a bit unfair to criticize Kevin's training methods considering his vast experience with dogs and dog behavior. You can criticize his theories if you like, but his experience and the positive effect he has on dogs can't be argued.
It's easy to criticize because he is so often wrong. If he got a few things correctly and used accurate descriptions it would be a lot harder. I'm talking about ideas, not people. If ideas are wrong, they are wrong and you don't need to check credentials if someone is debunking your claim that the earth is flat. That's just another method to derail - a red herring.
I do have to ask, again just out of curiosity. Do you support Cesar Millan's model of behavior and training? I only ask because I noticed you had a few of his videos on your channel.

Dominance is not a projection of "human thought." Your ideas are. Dominance is a description of animal behavior. And since you have no background in science nor have you ever done any research your opinions about science do not mean very much.
Our understanding of energy is incomplete, but we study it in terms of the immediate-moment rather than projecting human thoughts such as dominance and therefore our understanding deepens. But modern biology/behavior is a theology because it doesn't study animals in terms of the immediate-moment. So I repeat the question, why does a dog, and only a dog, without training, sit for a cookie?
If there are several definitions for emotion, then it means that emotion is misunderstood. Many years ago when physics had several definitions for electromagnetism, it meant that it wsnt' known that electricity and magnetism were both aspects of the same phenomenon. Also, if evolution has no direction, are you willing or able to state as to what is the purpose of an animal's behavior?

That's simply false. The belief in a flat earth never had anything to do with science

There was a time when science believed the earth was flat.

The multiple definitions mean that the understanding is incomplete. Just like our understanding of EVERYTHING is incomplete.
You are very confused as to evolution and behavior. Ask your question in a meaningful manner and I will answer it.
Stop talking about evolution until you brush up on the subject.
Which animal? What behavior? When? Where? At what time?

Fear is not emotion. I suppose you have a definition for emotion. If so you should publish a book because mainstream science doesn't yet have one.

There are several definitions of emotion, and depending on the discipline that's the one the researcher uses.

The following statements made in this video are patently FALSE.
Dog and owner are an energy circuit - FALSE.
No model for emotion - FALSE.
Dog and owner is one mind - FALSE
In fact most of the statements are false.
Fear is an emotional response to a threat, real or imagined.

A fascinating theory on dog behavior that fits more closely what I've noted in my own pack.
