Cesar’s Way - Read it!
I highly recommend reading Cesar’s Way by Cesar Milan. Cesar writes about establishing leadership with your dog and describes how dogs perceive their world. We humans try to humanize our pets and while this is a bonding feature for us, it can miss the point with the pet and can lead to behavioral problems in our pets that make living with them difficult or impossible.
For Airedale owners, new and those still scratching their heads over certain ADT antics, please get the book and pay special attention to the part about how to establish leadership with your dog. From walking the dog to changing your body language with your pet - Cesar’s tips will give dramatic results with your dog if you’ll follow them (consistently I might add). I’ve seen examples of what he suggests as long as twenty years ago and can’t agree more with his suggestions.
