    Here's an article that might be of interest to dog-owners:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/jul/17/dog-training-john-bradshaw-animal-behaviour
    Professor John Bradshaw is leading a revolution in the study of canine behaviour. 'Dogs don't want to control people, they want to control their own lives,' he says.

    Anyone out there involved in dog-training like to give some views on its contents?

    Has anyone tried Cesar Millan's methods, for instance, and found them to be good or bad?

    The dominance myth that Cesar Milan espouses has been debunked for a long time now, unfortunately some trainers still believe in it:(
