Re: Presa Canario Episode
I think sometimes the internet paints a wrong picture, even when someone attempts to really explain oneself. I also think that you are automatically classifying me as one that does the whole "dominant dog control by physical means." I am actually the opposite. I learned first hand years ag...

Re: Presa Canario Episode
Jacksdad, When catagorizing "all" dogs that display these behaviors as "dominant," I feel that it is an incorrect generalization, HOWEVER, someone such as Ed Frawley is dealing ONLY with dominant breed working dogs, not your typical household pet. WIthout seeing each particular d...

Re: Presa Canario Episode
Anna, I pretty much agree 100% with what you have said. I truly believe most people are not going to end up with a truly dominant alpha dog, and that most problems that occur with most pet dogs is not due to dominance issues, but to lack of proper training and fear issues, HOWEVER, for one to stick ...

Re: Presa Canario Episode
I agree the door rushing is not the best example and truly is more likely than not, just a dog that hasn't been taught manners, but that thought also comes under the auspice that the "alpha" leads first....however, I do agree with the majority of dogs are not trying "to take control,&...
