Weekly Update from Dogwise: A Fresh Look at the Dominance Issue
|
|
Dear Dogwise Customer,
|
One of the more fascinating and controversial issues currently in the dog training world is that of dominance. Looking at the recent works of noted authorities like Patricia McConnell , Jean Donaldson , James O'Heare and Barry Eaton, you can see that there are varying opinions on the subject. Clearly some dogs are better able in some circumstances to get access to and control of resources than others, but how does that apply in other circumstances and, perhaps more importantly, to the way you should interact with your dog and the methods of training you use. The latest authority to weigh in on this subject is Pamela Reid in a new seminar DVD entitled Dominance Theory - Are We Throwing the Baby Out With the Bathwater? Pam suggests that rather than entirely reject the dominance idea that we recognize that some sort of dominance hierarchy exists among dogs but that it should not prompt owners or trainers to adopt an "antagonistic relationship" with their dogs.
We are going to do something a bit different with our book of the week selection this time. We have close to 70 slightly damaged/worn copies of Brenda Aloff's best selling Canine Body Language in stock. These are mostly returns from our publishing business (returns are the scourge of the publishing world....but that's enough said on that!). Anyhow, we have marked these down now 50% (to $19.95). This is a first come first served offer, good until stock is gone or the week is up. You will hardly notice the damage/wear factor!
Lots of good new stuff showing up in the warehouse recently. Click here to see all the new goodies. Some notable arrivals include:
For those many of you who have purchased Sasha and Ashley Foster's book The Healthy Way to Stretch Your Dog, you will have an opportunity to ask them questions on the Dogwise Forums, which began on June 22nd.
Thanks from all of us at Dogwise.
