Divine Canine (Animal Planet)

My name is Chris. I was featured on this show in the episode "Harnessing Harley". One rater said "Aside from the fact that "dominance" is not the cause or solution for behavior problems in dogs, this show teaches children that those who don't train their dogs (a key piece in responsible ownership) can simply pay someone to take their dog for a month, yank it around by the neck and *voila* they have a trained dog." This show did not teach that- I am sorry. It took a while to gain dominince over Harley. We had to take the knowledge we learned and apply it to Harley- it was total retraining and re-inforcing what Harley already learned. If you had watched the episodes you see the people struggle with the dog when they get it back. It takes a while for people to get the hang of it. This was clearly seen on the show. Perhaps the rater did not see all the episodes... but as someone who experienced it, the training advice on the show works if you stick with it. This show is geared for dog loving and dog owners more than children; however, children will love the puppies that are shown on each episode.
