I recently read a book, ("The Dog Listener") that deals with a type of positive reinforcement training for dogs, dubbed "Amichien" (meaning friend of the dog I suppose). Anyway, the training deals with placing you as the dominant figure in a very subtle way. I have been using it for just a few weeks now so it is too early to tell how well it will work in the long haul. Nonetheless, it was interesting and certainly added a few new tools to my training tool box.
