What straw man? I made a statement that I think all dog trainers will

he will be the alpha. If anyone sees a negative implications in this
then they put them there. This is a simple fact – not a straw man.
Read the posts leading up to this, Lawrence. In them, _no one_ denied
that if one had 'a dominant dog' one had to somehow get the dog to see
that ultimately it was you who were dominant.
The straw man is the notion that anybody was arguing that anyone here
might recommend a method of training in which the dog was taught to be
dominant.
