All training is negotiation, whether you're training dogs or spouses.

People - and dogs - are dying to be trained.

You don't train a dog in a training hall, jerking his neck or even giving him food treats. You train him using life rewards.

Training a puppy is like raising a child. Every single interaction is a training opportunity.

When I'm training a dog, I develop a relationship with that dog. He's my buddy, and I want to make training fun.

Learning from wolves to interact with pet dogs makes about as much sense as, 'I want to improve my parenting - let's see how the chimps do it!'
