The Best Kind of Sharing

One of My very favorite blog sites in the whole world is "Love and a Six Foot Leash" written by a wonderful woman named Aleks.  Yesterday's blog was one of my all-time favorites because it speaks to something that has become very important to us in our relationship with our dogs -- training without intimidation.  It's part of what lead us to using martingale collars rather than other more forceful forms of restraint (which I am guilty of thinking would really do "the job") such as prong collars, shock collars, spray bottles ... you get the picture.  It all makes sense to me now ... if  you don't want  your dog to act like a bully, don't bully your dog. 

Anyway, here's what Aleks has to say about alternatives to training by intimidation.  Love!
