Się jako mężczyzna tym kilka oczek niżej świata by odkryć and effectively. I basically swore a lot when I saw that book…..however, Bradshaw has a new book published I would be interested to read your review on that…😀 I read 's post above and think this sums up beautifully the problem bias we seem to exhibit as a species. It's why we also elect people to power who are potentially harmful and dangerous. I wonder if some of us think that being tough and able to lead and be protective has to equal being demonstrably harsh and forceful? I do know right now the UK that the number one killer of men is suicide. Mental health is a public health issue. Crushing feelings out of existence, acting tough and enforcing this kind of crap that book is all adding to the problem IMO What is beautiful life right now is early walks the woods with girl. We are both getting a little stiffer and can't seem to do much after a couple of hours hiking these days but still something we both seem to equal measure. I am pleased you published a ‘negative' review. Too often if we think something is wrong, we close our mouths and hope no one is offended. Give me good, honest information with factual support and I follow you anywhere! Keep up the good work and publishing excellent information. Thank you. I've loved your books, research,and wisdom,through the years. Your words taught me about how dogs can be studied I work as a professional dog trainer. I know you received a lot of backlash for posting this review but I hear what you are saying. Thank you. A few thoughts based on what's the review. 1. Guide dogs are their role model for happy, well-trained dogs. Are they aware that most guide dog organizations are transitioning over to clicker training? 2. Dominance. Noted wolf researcher David Mech confirmed to me 1989 that almost all dominance displays are initiated by the submissive wolf. True alphas do not go around beating up on their subordinates. 3. Most of the original Monks of New Skete book was written by Job Evans. He later left the order and became a professional dog trainer. the late 1980s, he expressed regret for including some of the most punitive techniques. 4. I have firsthand knowledge of one case where the roll killed a puppy. No, not directly. A big-name traditional training facility area instructed owners of a mouthy baby Husky puppy to roll him each time he mouthed. By the time he was brought to us for a second opinion, he had become a panicked piranha anytime a human came near him, snapping wildly and rapidly at anything and everything. Amazingly, by the end of the day at our puppy daycare training facility, he had mostly recovered to almost normal puppy behavior. The girlfriend was convinced. Sadly, she was unable to convert her boyfriend He continued to bully the puppy the name of training, until it finally retaliated defended itself sufficiently to be euthanized. The pup wasn't even 4 months old. That was 25 years ago, and I'm still not over it. 5. Positive training is not only kinder, it is more effective. Even when training macho things like police work Thank you for your comments As expected, I have gotten some blow back but I'm getting less risk aversive dotage. If we 't stand up against these sadly outdated techniques, who After going published with darkest secrets The Education of it's feels a lot easier to be honest and straightforward. A few things to add: First, Beth-Who-Sings-to-Her-Dog: You can lead me anywhere and I'll follow! And to Connelly, I'm glad you mentioned V. Hearne. I too loved much of her thoughtful expositions, although I winced every time she described her training methods. I wonder what she thinks now? Thank heavens for books like J Bradshaw's book G Berns. I'm reading Berns' book right now, very much looking forward to Bradshaw's. One step at a time, one step at a time… I, too, Vicki Hearne's writing and have read
