THE DOG WHISPERER - DVDs & National Geographic Channel
This is the MOST terrific thread on the "Our Pets" Forum
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=6245
This is about the famous trainer, Cesar Millan, who works WITH ADULT DOGS by using the pack theory... that dogs simply need to know who the alpha pack member is so the dog can be happy and relaxed in knowing his place in the pack. He teaches Dog Psychology based on a dog's reality.
This theory did certainly not start with this trainer, but he is the first to use it (and use it so well) as the very core of Cesar's training. It is so exciting and impressive to see him "walking" an entire crowd, a PACK of dogs --and not a leash in sight-- but all of them are focused on him and all of them are under his control rather than running wild, sniffing and peeing on things every step of the way.
It was pointed out that you can find these used, sometimes discounted, and at many librries in their DVD lending library. Cesar Millan has a book, too, but they say you truly need to see Cesar's show (on the National Georgraphic channel on Cable and satellite) and watch the DVDs of his shows to really let him train YOU how to interact with your dog.
I know from (second hand) experience (and it is talked about on this thread above) that some "dog training classes" teach you a great deal of very bad, even counter-productive techniques and advice.
So PLEASE read this thread http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=6245 and take the advice to heart.
