  • This guy has no idea what he is talking about.

  • The dog at the end was fixated on the ball that could turn into an obsession!

  • This guy's training seems absolutely fantastic! He's doing such a great job with these dogs.. the dogs pulling on the leash and look at that dog giving him no boundaries and trying to take that ball away from him, gnawing at his hands until he has to throw it! Dale and Flannigan should stop all their shinanigans.

  • All this vid is about is 'talk', maybe if you showed high drive dogs being recalled from chases and equivilent's there would be something to self promote about, all I see is a quiet biddable dog having its chin tickled, wow, is that whats called 'a training achievement'?

  • @cathbad2468

    I think you missed the point entirely, both of this post and of Cesar's "way."

  • I found this video via an article that Steve Dale wrote trashing Cesar Milan, stating that Cesar was all about dominance. This is ridiculous. All Cesar says is show the dog boundries and show the dog that it can *trust* you. Cesar never actually says 'be dominant'. He says "be Calm, then assertive". Creating straw man attacks against Cesar only professional territorial aggression, to which I can only respond : "PSSST". :)

  • Jim spread the video around...thanks. I don't disagree with you. I suggest we need to be 'teachers' and 'leaders' but not dictators. Also this has nothing to do with wolves (which dogs are not).

  • Steve, I love the points of this video. I am really interested in what Gerald Flannigan has to say now! And I love that he said sometimes dogs do need to be corrected, Ian Dunbar has said the same thing. I think that's why balance is important, no extremes in either direction. Being the leader is great, dogs need leadership and discipline, but they don't need dominant or intimidation-based training! BIG difference between a "Leader" and a "Bully". Positive is #1 and first. -Jen Hack

  • spread it around - thanks!

  • thank you very good video! we need more like this
