All this is to say that the last almost-year has led me to this book, which is advocates positive, compassionate training methods and is the polar opposite of all that macho dominance advice. I've already seen a lot of improvement in my dog's behavior since implementing some of the strategies in the book. I am now reading the author's related work Behavioral Adjustment Training 2.0, for dogs like mine who have behavioral quirks. I would recommend these books to anyone with a dog, including those who somehow still believe in the dominance model. ( )
