What upsets me about the "all positive" dog training advocates is their rigidity and hostility to anyone who doesn't agree with everything they think, and that they seem not to have thought their ideas through very carefully. For example, they believe the notion that alpha dogs exist depends on the studies of wolves in captivity, where apparently observers have seen alpha behavior. But dogs exist in captivity. Doesn't that give them even a moment of uncertainty? Absolutely not. Like Trump supporters, their beliefs arise from emotions and aren't subject to inquiry. Let me say that anything you believe that makes you furious when it's challenged needs to be re-thought. Also, why all the sensitivity to dogs and the absolute rage exhibited toward people? Don't we deserve all-positive reformation?
