Yes, the above photo is of the gratuitous, dog-in-a-funny-hat variety, but the linked story is illuminating. Apparently, parents tired of the never-say-no approach to child-rearing are turning to Cesar Milan’s methods (a/k/a the Dog Whisperer) that have been so effective on dogs. As one parent says, “When we started watching his shows, we had intended to apply his advice toward our dogs, but we realized a lot of ideas can be used on our kids.” Parents, get ready to become the Alpha Dog.

I’ve been thinking lately about dog training , and the best way to go about it for my little one. Does anyone have any long standing methods for breaking in a new dog? He’s a few years old, he was a family member of ours. It seems they never spent the time to potty train him. Thanks.
