While harsh, dominance-based training methods of dogs have become popular, they are predicated on erroneous assumptions and instill fear and anxiety in our pets. Few people are more qualified to speak about the inaccuracies of these training methods or the abilities and potential of dogs than Jennifer Arnold, the founder of Canine Assistants, an organization that for the past twenty years has trained service dogs for people with physical disabilities and special needs.
In her stirring and inspiring book Through a Dog's Eyes, Arnold writes, “The dominance model for dog training is based on faulty science and is in fact dangerous for our dogs. I have witnessed and heard of acts of cruelty perpetrated in an effort to ‘establish dominance.’ It is time to let go of the whole ‘alpha’ concept. Your dog already knows you aren’t a wolf or another dog.” Through a Dog's Eyes is a stunning exploration of the intelligence, strength, and abilities of our four-legged friends and teaches dog owners how to communicate with them in a manner that is positive and effective.
Jennifer Arnold is the founder and executive director of Canine Assistants, a nonprofit organization that trains and provides service dogs for people with physical disabilities and special needs. She has been the subject of a PBS documentary.
