“A handler who insists that a dog ignore the world is one who is afraid of losing control of the dog” Suzanne Clothier

When dogs are interested or curious about novelty in the environment, it is often suggested to train them to focus on the handler and ignore whatever they are concerned about. A dog who is trained to rigidly ignore their world is not being a dog and is not able to learn coping skills or other strategies.

There is nothing wrong with letting dogs watch things in their world as long as we can recognise when a dog is going beyond alert curiosity or interest and are becoming worried, fearful, or ready to react. We can then offer them some support and help them move away.

This is so important in debunking the “Alpha” training methodology 💜🐾

https://www.facebook.com/100083259614617/posts/442814465170537/

Did you know that the senior research scientist David Mech, whose book into hierarchy in wolf packs created the 'alpha theory' idea, then went on to disprove his own work with a later more naturalistic study? 😮

Although wolves and domestic dogs are worlds apart nowadays, David Mech's original book on captive wolves is still used regularly as evidence for alpha-based and dominance training styles. Touting you need to act like a wolf and an alpha and put your dog in their place so they respect you. However, even if domestic dogs and wolves were closer in how they acted than they are, David Mech went on to do further research and instead found that rather than one domineering 'alpha' wolves actually work as a family group with the parents leading the pack. That doesn't sound that far off our human families really does it? In fact, despite what 'alpha theory' states in regards to an 'alpha' wolf always eating first, in reality wolf parents often feed their youngest, most vulnerable offspring first.

The issue with the first study the book used is it was based on captive wolves and not wild wolves and how they behaved in their natural habitat, once David Mech realised his mistakes he did more research, and with new understanding and data he has since gone on to try and repair the damage his original study has done in how we view wolves, and by extension dogs. This is what scientific study is about, updating with the times and the most up to date information. I give huge props to David Mech for instead of trying to save his ego and stick to what he said in his original work, he has followed the science and admitted the flaws of his original study, bringing new knowledge and research forward.

It is a shame that the original idea is still so prevalent in our cultural knowledge and understanding of wolves, whereas the later study is less well known to the masses. I can only hope that will also change over time by us bringing the more up to date information to the forefront. 🐺
