Dog Training and the Myth of Alpha-Male Dominance

This is an interesting article that compares the theory of the alpha-dog and some of the training methods of trainers such as Cesar Milan with positive-reinforcement training methods, such as those employed by Victoria Stilwell.

The article is interesting in that it doesn't totally debunk the training methods of Cesar Milan, some of which are shared with the positive training methods used by Victoria Stilwell, but rather explores how the deviation towards "alpha" techniques can create more harm than good. It's an interesting read.
