Learning from wolves to interact with pet dogs makes about as much sense as, 'I want to improve my parenting - let's see how the chimps do it!'

You can instill fear in your kids and get them to mind, but they won't function better in the world and your relationship will suffer greatly.

All training is negotiation, whether you're training dogs or spouses.

People - and dogs - are dying to be trained.

When I'm training a dog, I develop a relationship with that dog. He's my buddy, and I want to make training fun.

Training a dog, to me, is on a par with learning to dance with my wife or teaching my son to ski. These are fun things we do together. If anyone even talks about dominating the dog or hurting him or fighting him or punishing him, don't go there.
