Brad P. Calgary, AB 10/9/2009 10:56:34 PM 1. Dog do not follow pack leaders since they don't form packs. They form assemblages. 2. Dogs communicate with sound, scent, posture - not energy. 3. Pups are given high degree of freedom. It is part of their exploratory nature to extend the limits of their experience. "Mom" is not the autocrat that Millan imagines. 4. Pups often decide when they want to nurse by attacking the dam en masse. 5. Behaving like a dog is as dumb as expecting treating your dog like a human.
