I am notoriously run over by dogs. But after watching the dog whisperer I have been preparing for my new adoption with hopes of being more in control.
Low and behold I'm cleaning my garage today and a neighbor strolled by with a huge dog. I waved and came into the street to see her new "monster" size dog. Remembering what I learned, I took on the attitude of a dominant person. Her dog, a full grown Irish Wolf Hound jumped back from me so fast it was embarrassing.
Apparently the techniques work!
Also I had two huge loose pit bulls come into my backyard and I instantly panicked, caught myself and became the one in charge. Without saying a word I started pointing to them to get out without saying a word and they ran like hell.
Anybody else watching this series?
