He didn't make any comment apart from "its a dominance thing" and his dog was just showing Sweep who was boss!


That comment just shows me he ain't got a clue what he's talking about. >:(
 truly dominant dogs do not need to display aggression, as they are confident in their surroundings.  ;)

Agree with Mark - sounds like he was touting for business but not a very good advert for his own training skills.  >:(  That dominance theory is pretty outdated and seems to be what some people say to cover for their dog not being happy in its surroundings - it was his fault for taking it into that situation.   >:(

Also agree that I would not put my dog in that situation if it was not happy around other dogs  ::)  If he has to tout for business with people in pubs I doubt there is that much demand for his training services!  :shades: ;)
