Is pack theory the best approach when dealing with our dogs?

  • I like how you condensed the clips you added to make it seem like what you say is true, when in reality what he is trying to say is completely different. Dogs and Wolves are pack animals, don't take advice from some kid with a camera on youtube.

  • You have a Border Collie ! Your Border Collie is probably smarter than you. If you lived with several dogs, you would see more "pack" reaction. As a child I grew up with a few as 6 to as many as 30 or more dogs at once. I saw pack dynamics in action and yes there were "Alphas" and omegas in our pack.

  • Ok dude I would like to you see take a dog that is highly aggressive to his owners, family and everyone he meets, and straighten him out. Would it end up in the pound? Probably so with your attitude of love and be loved.

  • Great video, Zak!

  • i crated trained my dog 2 year old pit bull by making it a game for her to go in the crate... although she came back out for her ball reward eventually she learned to go in and lay down for her ball reward and it was always a game and fun for her... my dog listens to me because i make it fun for her to listen... i am her leader because she trusts me not because she fears me... and i am not claiming to be a dog trainer i just love my dog and i don't ever want her to doubt that.

  • @MsZoraZ :) glad you liked it...

  • @dlsavidge I watched it, it's really good!

  • i'm not the alpha, nor am i the pack leader. i'm just the fulcrum of a system that works.

  • "everything is" Sorry for the mistake.

  • So much of this is becoming the positive reinforcement crowd vs the CM crowd. I think its because he's mostly misunderstood. "I always say i'm a man of instincts" and "...it opened more my awareness when i moved into a modern society, you know, where everywhere is fast, artificial, time is everything..." Isn't this really at the base of every dog training? Taking the time, using what works, doing it with the best of intentions and with as much knowledge as we have?
