    I couldn’t agree more with you Eric. I took my dog to a puppy training class where this technique was supposedly “fundamental” to teaching the dog who’s boss. Well, my cute puppy taught me who’s boss - time and time again my arms and hands would be all scratched up because she would freak out. Looking back, I wish I would have listened to my own instincts which told me what I was doing was wrong and to stop practicing this technique with my puppy.

    Eric, THANKYOU!
    Theres a couple of things you say that I disagree with, but its more the wording than the actual meaning (I dont think we need to be a dogs ‘alpha’, we are not dogs. We DO need to be a dogs team leader, mentor, teacher)..
    Thats just me being picky though!
    What you say about alpha rollovers is right,and its so refreshing to see someone saying that.
    Anyone reading this - alpha rollover will either get YOU bitten, or mentally damage your dog. Nothing good will be achieved!

    THANK YOU so much for sharing this video. It is so refreshing to see someone who does not advocate this outdated technique. Keep up the great work!

    Sometimes your anti-ad (part of antivirus) causes it. Just stop the anti-ad program and try it again. By the way, very helpful video.

    You can find a lot of books on dog physical signalling and sign language in your library, or you can probably just as easily google search it. The clearest event of status signing, I feel, is when you’re reunited with your dog after a bit of separation, not even a long while. In these situations it is easy for you to read your dogs sign language, and also think about how your actions look like to your dog.

    COMPLETELY agree with every single word. The alpha roll is a brilliant way to get badly bitten, and not much else.

    How can you tell you are the pack leader?
