 Alert | Jilly bean. there were some good tips in both of those articles...I wont go too into the do's and dont's of involving a six year old in the dominance training of a potentially agressive dog....I hope common sense will kick in there over assuming any article you read knows your specific situation and dog. The first article clearly stated that thankfully more than once...the article was mainly for shy dogs and stubborn, not aggressive...but still..good tips.
The 2nd article...I have a few objections to, but that does not make the article wrong or me right. The problem with dog training is every potential "expert" you talk to will connflict with what the last one said..and with books on emay say do this and the next one says dont do that...Any text regarding dog training is limited by the fact that there are too many variables so when writing something...they usually have to generalize....so for some dogs and some owners its great advice and others it's the worst thing they can do to solve the problem. Ahh rolling the dice. The 2nd article says "If he refuses to SIT, walk away and ignore him." my mentality is that in doing what they say...would one not be showing their dog that commands are not backed up by communication and motivation? hmmThey say to make the dog sit...then they say if dog doesnt sit ignore it...what happened to the "Make" in make it sit? Also I'm all for having thhe dogs wait and sit for dinner to be put down, but using it as primary tool for training sit is nothing more than nicely dressed treat training and I have past qualms with clicker training or treat training dogs despite the numerous amount of dogs who have been well trained through such methods....
However he part of the 2nd article where they talk about dogs being like kids and working dad for one thing and mom for another is VERY true. Something can be learned from everything/everyone...however some techniques result inmore consistancy and more reliability with distractions that other methods.
Either way best of luck!
