DogBreedInfo

It's sad a lot of people still believing that correcting dogs is a good idea and still talk about them being instinctual pack animals. I was actually originally taken in by the info on this site and started training my dogs that way before I found out the information is outdated and said to be harmful to dogs. Please research and find more proven and humane ways to train dogs. I'm sure website owner probably doesn't mean harm but it is harmful to dogs

In my opinion, the reviews giving the website two stars because some aspects of the website (like health info) are being too nice because the biggest problem- the behavior information- is so wrong. I won't pretend to be an expert on dog behavior because I'm not, but I have indulged myself looking at people who have studied dogs for years and have college degrees and are well respected throughout the field for info on dog behavior. This person doesn't. The behavior info is very bad. Not recommended. As for the info on health, some of which is valid and helpful if you want basic information, better info can be found elsewhere anyway so there's no need for those either in my opinion.

I'm a trainer and I tell every single client to read all of the articles on this site. My dogs are much better for me reading these- I am now a much better leader, which means I'm a much better trainer. Before you start considering all the corrections and things on this site that people grab onto and get mad about, try just changing your own behavior. If you change your behavior, so will the dog. You just have to know what your behavior should be. This site is great for that! If you stop thinking like a human and what would work with another human, lose your ego and do like the site says- think like a dog- and follow the instructions for becoming a calm and confident leader. You will see a huge improvement in your dog- because of you! If you don't see the changes you want look at your own behavior first- the things we are programmed to do DO NOT work with dogs- and most of the changes you need to make are really simple and easy. If you make the right changes, stay calm, think and act with confidence (even if you are unsure!) and if you start feeling frustrated walk away for a few minutes, you will start to see the changes in your dog that you have wanted all along! Your behavior directly affects the dogs behavior- it should not work the other way! This is a 5 star amazing site written by someone who obviously loves dogs, but loves them enough to be a good leader, not just a lover :)
