Ian Dunbar: Dog-friendly dog training

Back


Speaking at the 2007 EG conference, trainer Ian Dunbar asks us to see the world through the eyes of our beloved dogs. By knowing our pets' perspective, we can build their love and trust. It's a message that resonates well beyond the animal world.

summary: there are no bad dogs, just bad owners.

If you liked this, go check out some of his books, they are fantastic.

Dr. Dunbar does not resent the success of Cesar. Ian Dunbar has written a multitude of books on dogs and their behaviour. His frustration in this talk, if you pay attention to what he is saying is that he is frustrated with people being stupid dog owners. Both Dr. Dunbar and Cesar know the signals that dogs give, and both can interpret them into human terms, however most people cannot. That is the main philosophy behind both their teaching methods: it's not dog training, it's human training

But i have seen your beloved Cesar Milan put electric e collars on dogs and strangle them with choke collars !
You dont see Dr Ian Dunbar doing that now do you!?

I do hope that Ian can be seen on TV soon again, we need someone who can show that Cesar Millan is not the way since his followers are so fanatical and only seem to believe something if they see it on TV!

You might want to have a look at Dogtown, if you haven't already. It isn't Ian personally, but it is more positive than Cesar Millans's methods.

This guy seems to know what he is taking about, but I never knew this guy was even around. I like what heard but I need to see this guy in action. If anyone was videos of Ian Dunbar in action please up load them. I tired of seeing the same old Cesar on TV.

Our fantastic veterinarian was absolutely firm about dog training: "Go with Sirius. Ian Dunbar is the best there is."
