I have dealt with many pet dogs of large and small breed that have gone well beyond pushing the boudaries, wherein if this technique were attempted on them by their owners a bite would most likely have been the result. A propensity for dominance or aggression or both is not selective to working bloodline animals. I did not respond to your post to suggest that your advise to the OP was wrong, or that it would not work, merely to point out that it might be incomplete depending on the situation of the OP. However, there is no way either one of us could know this without observing the situation first hand. My motivation at the time, and now, in my response, was solely to provide another perspective for the OP to be aware of.
You're absolutely right, Brad. I made the mistake of assuming that anyone reading this thread would have a certain degree of experience with all types of dogs, and be able to determine when a technique like this would be appropriate. But I know, experientially, that simply isn't the case. Thanks for catching that.
Though, since this is under "puppy training", I really think most pet puppies would benefit from this handling. Honestly, pack structure and pack structure initiated aggression in a pet dog hardly every shows up before 8 or 9 months of age, plenty of time to start groundwork like this.
I guess there should always be a disclaimer. Something like, "If you aren't comfortable with your knowledge, relationship, or experience, seek professional help before attempting any of these techniques."
