Learn all about "pecking order" and where we get our beliefs and theories of alphas, pack leaders, and dominance. After the history, we get to the current science, and wrap up our three-part series on unwanted behavior, punishment, and the current science that can help us deal more effectively with these often misunderstood (and misused) concepts. All this and a big stack of listener mail! Show Notes and Links: Thorleif Schjelderup-Ebbe and "Pecking Order" on Wikipedia Wolf Expert L.

In our last episode, we discussed methods consistent with a "positive" training approach for eliminating unwanted behaviors. This week, we talk about punishment, the negative effects it can have on your training agenda, and the official position statement from the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) on Punishment.
All that, and we answer a BUNCH of viewer mail and calls!
