Hi everyone
I was hoping someone could clarify something for me....
I have been looking for a trainer who can help me with Pippa (who can be anxious around other dogs since being bitten) and have found one who uses the Tellington TTouch approach which I thought will be useful for us. However on another website the same trainer advocates the methods of Jan Fennell "the dog listener" and has been trained by her. Am I right in thinking that the "dog listener" approach uses a lot of pack theory and teaches people to be the 'alpha'?? Please correct me if I'm wrong... I could be getting my wires crossed and don't have time to read the Jan Fennell Books to find out!
I am not interested in using these 'dominance theory' techniques and want to get my facts straight before committing to a trainer who may use them (even if in disguise
)
Thanks in advance
