heehee. I agree with you there Chris!
Mr. Rambeau: Yes, I know that most of the Monks stuff is outdated, but what about discipline? What does one do when they don't happen to have a lease and collar on their dog when dog is in the house and they jump on the cat etc??? Is a good swiff shake not a good thing?

The most effective and appropriate correction that can be administered consistently will vary by handler, dog, whether the dog is in drive, the situation, the training that has been done, the training that will be done in the future.
A training collar and leash is clearly the most accepted and versatile means for delivering an appropriate correction.
A rough "hands-on" correction can/will seriously damage the bond between dog and handler, and can/will ruin all future training. A dog that has recieved rough "hands-on" correction is a sad sight to see, and the damage only rarely can be salvaged.
I use a "hands-on" correction in only one specific situation on one specific type of dog. The average dog owner will never encounter it.

This past week I have been writing an article titled "The Theory of Corrections in Dog Training" - it's 16 pages so far. I hope to have it done by Monday and will put it on my web site. I believe it will help a lot of people understand a confusing subject.
BTW - Chris is right - the MONKS OF NEW SKEET is a gay rock band in San Francisco they started writing books on dog training because they couldn't play good rock. They were better musicians than dog trainers.
Looking forward to it Ed... as well as your video dealing with aggressive dogs. Do you have an ETA for that DVD? I am on the notification list when it comes out... but was just wondering if it would be soon. I have a little guy that I hope will benefit from it.

I certainly understand where you are coming from. I try not to use "hands-on" corrections when possible. But who keeps a leash AND prong collar on their dogs all day? There are times when my dog(s) are in the house and they need a correction and I can not wait until I grab the leash and collar to administer that correction. ie: stealing food, chasing cats, jumping on unexpected visitors, not listening, etc...Is this bad? Over all my dogs are very well mannered and usually do not need more than a verbal correction; but sometimes...
