We have both dogs and horses in our family. The two horses and two dogs that were trained using calm assetiveness, by my daughter and I, are well behaved and calm-natured and happy; my husband's dog who was "trained" with only affection, is neurotic, has no manners, and seems to be perpetually confused. You have confirmed why.

Boy O Boy, I have had a German Shepard and a Great Dane, I trained them both to be well balanced dog's, they had to be as they were both so big. Now I have a Chihuahau, my little baby, he rules the house and is such a character. But enough already, I have my work cut out for me now !

I have a lab/german shepard mix that loves all dogs except the cocker spaniel it lives with. She will attack if not kept on a leash around this dog. Any ideas as to why this dog and none of the other 50 dogs it knows and hangs out with at day care?

I have two gigantic warbloods that I event on, as well as a gigantic german shepard. The horse and dog that I raised without a lot of treats and overt affection adore me and are very obedient, but the horse who was spoiled by his previous owner is a 1400 lb PSYCHO!!!! Animals definitely turn out better when they can follow a consistent leader (but I admit, the Shepard does get away with more than the horses!)

I recently rescued a Jack Russell Terrier. I thought i knew the breed, but did not know enough. I also have owned horses, and trained them as well. A horse is large, I also did, xercise, discipline and then affection. A dog? I let them run my house! But with the new JRT, I had to reverse my thinking and apply the same techniques from horse training to dogs. The JRT would pick on my Queensland heeler, who would use restraint, but when didnt it resulted in a couple of really bad and scary fights. I had to take control of the situation fast. I read all of the tips on Caesars Website, Dog Whisperer, things are much much better. I learned now to better control the JRT. I went from laughing and crying to getting back control of my house. Thanks!
