Mother Nature's ruthless to the weak, but isn't arbitrary cruel or negative. Mother Nature saves aggression for extreme situations, and instead uses consistent leadership--to help keep things running smoothly. Mother nature doesn't rule by fear and anger, but by calm strength and assertiveness.

Explaining "why" to a dog is pretty useless. You have to engage their instincts in order to change their behavior.

Dogs have found themselves in an odd predicament by living with humans. In the wild, dogs don't need humans to achieve balance. They have a pack leader, work for food and travel with the pack. When we bring them into our world, we need to help them achieve balance by fulfilling their needs as nature intended. This takes exercise and discipline before affection, and always maintaining your calm, assertive pack leadership.

When a dog is balanced, you are going to enjoy a true friend.

Discipline isn't about showing a dog who's boss; it's about taking responsibility for a living creature you have brought into your world.

Any time you're working in the world of taming animals, you're going to get hurt. But it's a rush that we get.

People with strong breeds are trying to be in control because their dog is labeled as aggressive or dangerous. That tells us how ignorant we are even though we love dogs.
