The difference between real dog men and the pretenders is those real doggers are studying those dogs all the time and reading the behaviors and know what will come next when a dog starts acting a certain way. That's why those TV trainers look like they are doin magic with those dogs. Well that and editing. But understanding the signs a dog exhibits allows you to head off a lotta stuff before it gets going and makes you the leader and not one of your dogs.
I was fixin to say something similar. I let my dogs out of their kennels right before feed time pretty much every day for about twenty minutes while i am feeding and checkin things. I have four males including my american bull dog. I can pick out who is trying to stir the pot and call his name and biotch at him a lil then everything goes back to playing. To me how a dog acts when you are correcting tells me if the dog needs culled for aggression. Some dogs wont take my kind of correction and they dont eat my dog food long now. I just had an aggression issue a month ago that got worse and worse as the dog got older. No amount of pow wow's would break this dog, he doesnt eat my food any longer.
