greysmom Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Read the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants view and position on dominance. Position on Dominance Be sure to click through at the end and read the Association's official position statement. In part: "Dominance is not a natural order of power between us and our pets, nor is it a healthy or scientifically supported way to approach training and behavior consulting. It certainly doesn’t justify the use of punishment in training. An animal does not have to be dominant or submissive in order to learn—animals learn from what reinforces or punishes their behavior. They can learn from other animals in their group, from other species, and by interacting with the environment."
