Pretty much every day is a negotiation of some sort when it comes to our dogs. Once again, I guess Cesar Millan is right, as much as I hate to admit it. Surely he is not the first person to note that dogs sense what people are feeling, but he stresses how important it is to emanate a certain confidence; no amount of commands or volume can overcome your command presence (or lack there of). And here is an example of how this works as dogs communicate with each other, although I must say the ending in this scenario is not typical of what occurs on a regular basis in our house. But I guess the pack leader is willing to give in once in a while.Watch Jack and Chloe in "Canine Negotiation"
Couldn't see the video on my Droid. Finally got to watch it on a pc. I always love seeing video of my grandpups. The look on Jack's face is priceless! I know this expression well, especially from my last visit. He is so close to being human!
