This is a very interesting text and i agree with it so far, that i also believe a training with fun, love and patience helps the dog to understand what i want much better. Every violent, forceful method frightens the dog and that is not my way of working with dogs. But this does not mean that i can not show my dog who is the one that makes the rules, the decisions. All that can be done with love, understanding and patience. And when it is done this way, i am totally convinced that my dog will lead a happier life with me than with a person who beats her/him. The fact that dogs need rules in our human civilized world does not include the necessity of beating or worse things. I really hope that more and more people come to realise how important it is to treat our pets with love and understanding.
All the best and nice greetings from Vienna,
Michael
