Re: Questions about Pecking Order & new schools of thought & the jargon that goes wit
Furthermore, the phrases "alpha", "pack leader", "boss", and "in charge" are phrases used to specify status.
Why do people get so upset about this stuff? It's no religion, it's dog training.
I dunno who you're talking about, but if he is anti "pecking order" and against the use of alpha/dominance concepts when managing and training his dogs, then I probably do sound like him. He sounds educated on ethology and dog training, as am I.Wow....Brad your response sounded like that guy. Please don't be that guy
The topic of this thread is "Questions about Pecking Order & new schools of thought & the jargon that goes wit" a pecking order is a status-based linear social system. Like the military. So, yes, "status" is relevant to the conversation.You should have specified which "level" you were referring too... Second no one is stating anything about "status." I don't have to swing my nuts around or make noise to call the shots. My dogs and I are a team and as a "team lead" my job is to guide our team to be the best they can be.
