I would have thought that is the quickest way to A & E myself.
Couldnt agree more. Ive had my dog for ten years, and im 99% sure that "biting" him would provoke an aggressive reaction from him.

What it boils down to is that dogs ARENT wolves, they dont share the same behaviours, as they are so far removed from their wild ancestors, so i feel comparing the two species and basing training methods on how wolves interact with eachother is ignorant and and treading on dangerous ground.

Dogs should be treated as dogs, studied in their own right, and training methods used that reflect domestic canine behaviour, not a wild animals behaviour.
