Going to disagree with some of your stuff here. John Fisher is top – totally agree but unless you are looking at evolution and the differences between wolves and dogs I would steer clear of wolf stuff. Dogs are not wolves and should not be treated as a wolf – we evolved from apes but we dont go swinging about trees and I would like to think we have came on significantly from there :yes:
There was a significant increase in the training books in the 1980s and 1990s blaming behavioural problems on a dog’s dominant nature. Many of the training methods used in these books are borne of comparisons between captive wolves and the behaviour of domestic dogs. If you want to encourage the misconception that dogs should be treated as wolves then why stop at Jan Fennell – intriguing is not a word I would use, go with Ceasar Milans stuff or watch Dog Borstal – that way you can totally mess up your own head along with your dogs.
Just my opinion but based scientific facts – not everything you read in books, intriguing or entertaining as it may be, is fact.
