Do you own your dog or does your dog own you?

My dog owns me for sure. Cesar Millan would probably donkey punch me if he met me and my dog.

♥Faerie♥

Totally they own me.....and I let them.....however, I still think they see me as the alpha, so we balance each other out♥

Any trainer I've ever talked to, even with different training styles, all talk so terribly about Ceasar Millan. Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that his styles do work, just there are better ways to go about them.

But to answer your question, we own each other, my puppy listens but he's too cute to get mad at.

Lucky dogs.

My brother is a dog trainer for the K9 unit in Denver. He tells me I'm awful. He just says I spoil him too much. I say he's not spoiled, just overly loved.

Gary owns me..but cowers if I really react...like yesterday when he ATE my daughter's brand new iPod! He is SO incredibly hard to stay mad at though and he knows it!

Oh, for Pete sake. They would love to be as successful as him.

Meh, I don't think so. Our trainer's pretty successful.

Victoria Stilwell is very successful and practices positive reinforcement.

My dogs own me for sure! I love all 4 of them though, so it's all good

Kinda goes both ways. She'll mind really well most of the time. Her problems are being an overzealous greeter to which voice commands and physical restraint have no real effect. The other time is you can't get to stop/come when she's outside. It's a game for her to run up to you to just dart away when she's close enough to touch. Ellie (Boxer/German Shepherd mix) is a great dog. In the house, I'm alpha dog, but that's about it.

what they said.... He is pretty good with the come command, but he has his moments. I make him sit before almost anything i want him to do... i won't pet him unless he is sitting.
