Here's how most of us feel about him: http://www.positively.com/forum/viewtop ... 11&t=11140Bootsie wrote:Does anybody on here watch The Dog Whisperer as well? I think it is also important to incorporate the "pack mentality" concept into training. I did see this episode and it was a good one. I did like that she rewarded the dog for being calm. This teaches him the association of calmness and reward. Good episode.
Check out this thread we have on BAT: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=10044&hilit=BATkeiki wrote:What is BAT? This is the first time I've been on this site. I watch VS & Cesar & use info from both. It's all helpful to a degree, but I have a 7 yr old Rat Terrier that has been fear aggressive for a long time. The best thing is to keep her away from all dogs & watch her & correct her constantly while walking. I've come to the conclusion that she has a serious behavioral problem & she's not going to ever recover & be a calm dog, but she's my dog & I'll stand by her.
The primary reason your not seeing progress is your making a common mistake. thinking your dog needs to be corrected for it's reaction to other dogs. The problem with following CM is that he views what the dog is doing as right and wrong. if wrong, correct. the problem is a fearful dog isn't doing anything wrong. they do not need to be "corrected". Yes, their behavior needs to be addressed and their reaction to what it is they fear changed, but that isn't the same as being "wrong" and needing "corrections".keiki wrote:What is BAT?
