I just finished the "How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend" Got it from the public library.
The edition I read did retract their endorsement of alpha roles.
They did mention splapping your dog under the chin in certain situations. Some would consider that old school.
Also they mentioned running a dog while the handler is driving a car. Is that old school?
As a first time dog owner I didn't find it very helpful. Alot of the info was vague and theoretical. There were some interesting bits and pieces.
