Well, I saw alpha dominance theory somewhere.  No offense, I 
wouldn't listen to you either if you kept putting me through boot 
camp and forcing me to do things.  There was a discusion on 
another list and I'm going to dig out some reference articles and 
post the locations for reading.  

The Danger of Alpha Wolf Pack Dog Training:

Can Training Be Holistic, Part II:

The companion book:    
"The Culture Clash: A revolutionary new way of understanding the 
relationship between humans and domestic dogs" by Jean 
Donaldson and the one dealing with specific behavior problems by 
the same author:  "Dogs are from Neptune."  The books are well 
worth reading whether you agree with them or not.
