I get very disheartened with so many dog owners out there, that despite their best intentions, they subject their dogs to this outdated and erroneous "alpha" theory. There is a lot of literature out there that can help us all better understand our dogs (not wolfs) and scientific studies that dispute the dominance hierarchy theory. My favourite by far is Alexandra Semyonova's "The 100 Silliest Things People Say About Dog". There are some book excerpts at www.nonlineardogs.com, enough to make me want to learn more about it. Hopefully it will give more dog owners food for thought. Great blog, love it. I’ve been following your blog for some time and I am so happy you addressed this issue.

So I bet less dog bites happen in rural settings because people give dogs a lot more space to be dogs.

They are more likely to be dogs doin dog stuff.
