One look at this video, or a day hanging around the Sit Means Sit head franchise office in Las Vegas Nevada, makes it very clear that Sit Means Sit dog trainers have thousands of examples that our dog training system has thousands of examples where we have helped people with aggression tremendously. Misunderstanding of any training tool, and improper application would lead to things going sour no matter what the tool is. This is the same reason that a scalpel in the hands of a skilled physician, can save the life of many human beings, but doctors with less knowledge and experience, may not be able to save some of these lives. In either case, it’s not the tool at fault.
Let me start out by saying that dominance is not always a bad thing with puppies or adult dogs. It is simply a characteristic that separates some dogs from the rest. Look at it more as a personality than a problem. Dominance to the mildest degree is taking charge (not necessarily by beating up litter mates or house siblings) and becoming a leader or just being a little more bossy! You know this world would be a boring place if everyone was a follower. This world would also be a nightmare if everyone wanted to be in charge, with either spectrum nothing would ever get done in this world! The dog world is the same way, not every dog can be a leader, not every dog can do as they please, and not every dog can be passive. I will also add that the word dominace can be, and is commonly, over diagnosed with most behaviorial issues. There is no vacuum for the dominance diagnosis or any diagnosis for that matter, you simply have to look at the entire situation.
