Hi,
I love your blog!
I am writing because I am putting together a presentation on contemporary canine training theory and I recently read Dr. Cattet’s article “My journey towards becoming a dog trainer & behaviorist…” and saw that she practiced what most would consider a form of dominance theory training. My question is: where did this type of training originate? I’ve ad that it was popularized by the Monks of New Skete, but it seems to have older roots.
I also know of the study done by Dr. Frank Beach, who studied a small group of captive wolves, but again, this study seemed to confirm older practices rather than find new ones.
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dylan
