very interesting read on why dominace is not the way forward

HI

I found this article and I found it very interesting and learned a few things as the only thing I use to do was have Theo wait until I have left the front door first then he is allowed which I have now learned I did not need to.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/ ... erous.html

It's good that these articles are now being written, and that people might take notice!

Don't worry about the door thing, I think the "traditional" reasoning is flawed but can inadvertently teach the dog not to run out just because it's open and if you've not used it with any other techniques it generally just becomes a stand alone, safety behaviour
