Some television shows, trainers, and dog owners would have you believe that to train your dog, you must prove that you are dominant. That may be how dogs were trained in the past, but a growing body of science on both how wolves behave in the wild and how dogs learn has led to new, more effective and humane ways to train our dogs - whether teaching skills, preventing behavior issues, or dealing with problems that already exist. A veterinary behaviorist will shed light on the impact and long-term consequences that using dominance can have on our pets.
Speaker: Dr. E. Kathryn Meyer, VMD, president, American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, 2008-2010
