Interesting take on "The Dog Whisperer." Though many people swear by his
methods, I always had a vague sense that something wasn't quite right about
some of it, especially giving a dog a sideways Kick with your right foot while
the dog is at your left side. To me, kicking a dog for any reason, other than
to fend off an outright Attack, is morally reprehensible and cannot be
justified. Nor can overwhelming a dog with the thing(s) he fears. I have never
had to do any of these things to any of my dogs to get them to obey me; I use
Love and Praise instead.
