Science Daily Article Suggests “Using ‘Dominance’ to Explain Dog Behavior is Old Hat”
Saturday, May 23rd, 2009An article posted on Science Daily on May 21st reinforces what we at Green Acres have been saying for many years – the dominance or pack hierarchy theories used as the justification for punitive based dog training are not based in science and can often make dogs anxious which in turn often leads to an increase in aggressive behavior. The ScienceDaily article is based on a paper entitled Dominance in domestic dogs – useful construct or bad habit? that documents the research of a group at the University of Bristol’s Department of Clinical Veterinary Sciences. The paper was published in the May/June 2009 issue of the Journal of Veterinary Behavior: Clinical Applications and Research.
