You've probably heard of the term "alpha" in your dog training journey. But this term might not mean what you think it does. Join Doug Poynter in this insightful episode as he dispels the myth about the dominant alpha. Most people think that the "alpha" is a domineering figure and dog owners often think that's the role they should follow to get their canines under control. But this is simply false! It's not about dominating at all; it's all about leading. Punishment does not work! Doug cites studies done by Dr. L. David Mech, the person who coined the term "alpha," and William Campbell, the expert in solving behavior problems with dogs. Listen in to learn why your training methods aren't working and what you should do to fix it!
