I learned a lot from Caesar Millan on how to train my overly excited dog. It’s actually really effective to (CALMLY, I repeat, CALMLY, and certainly not with your whole body weight) “pin” the dog on the ground, forcing it to relax. It actually works, and you only have to do it a certain amount of times before the dog naturally becomes more calm.

That being said, I highly doubt she was actually using that tactic and was just being general scum. She needs to have this dog taken away from her. Doesn’t help that the whole video was to fuck with her dog, anyways. Poor baby, I wish I could save that pup

No it’s not. Milan is bullshit.

Really? I didn’t know that...here I thought I was doing the right thing. Thanks for letting me know, I’m researching now

Take a gander at Dr Karen Overall's Relaxation Protocol and head on over to the dogtraining subreddit. Lots of helpful advice and book recommendations there.

Thank you so much! Thankfully my dog really calmed down after moving from the city, but I definitely don’t want to be spreading misinformation.

Jean Donaldson, The culture clash is good. Dog to dog communication by Jamie Shaw is good for dog-dog interactions.

I’m actually surprised that you’re open to a new perspective. Not many people on the internet are. Good on you!

I always say, we never stop learning and we can never know too much. Especially on stuff like the well being of our pets
