In the talk she said she was giving us a choice we could have the soft fluffy talk or the prickly talk. Most of the people wanted the prickly talk. But they were led to this conclusion with a story about a mother eagle taking all the soft feathers out of the nest when the fledglings need to learn how to fly. The message is if the nest is prickly and sticks a baby bird it is more likely to leave the nest. I found this little exercise interesting in itself and it may have broader implications than just how many people want to learn with the help of aversives. I am not giving a choice, I usually give the prickly presentation by default. However, while being truthful I really try to be positive. The fact is that nature is often not soft and fluffy, but instead is like a sharp spine ready to pierce your flesh.  How we plan for and adapt to the spines determines the degree of the injury.

		<description><![CDATA[There is an ever intensifying debate in the dog training community over dominance vs leadership. To get a dog trained it really doesn’t matter if you believe in dominance theory or not. However for the purpose of learning about our own behavior and human social structure I feel that leadership and dominance are important]]></description>

The dharma wheel has eight spokes representing the eight elements of the path. The eight spokes of the dharma wheel resembles the eight paths of movement in my dog training system.]]></description>
