When Good Dogs Go Bad
Generally our dog's behaviour reflects our own state of mind. Until we can become calm submissive around our dogs and become the alpha pack leader, we can never truly own our environment and command their best behaviour.
Regrettably, to many dogs are allowed to dominate us and as a result may appear to be hopeless cases for rehabilitation. No wonder National Geographics star of The Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan has broken so much ground in dog psycology.
I have always known the power of showing the dogs who is boss but it is even more refreshing to see Cesar demonstrate that no dogs must live a "dog's life". 
Any dogs can be man's true best friend if man will adopt acceptable behaviour to influence his pet. I have at home two well mannered Akitas, Frostie a snow white male and his daughter Savvy.
These two dogs with well toned and timed directives have grown to be perfect companions who will seemingly protect my home with their lives yet show a calm sweetness towards me that make me the envy to all passers by.
Glad to see that people are starting to realise that dogs have a perception beyond human comprehension.
Dogs can judge from a persons scent whether they are exhibitting fear or anguish. Our bodies give off so many chemicals that we are only now taking note of.
Case and point; take the new study which determines a persons condition of health, including whether they are suffering from a chronic disease, by having them breathe into a machine.
No blood or tissue sampling necessary, no X-rays, CAT Scans or MRI's either. No wonder dogs have been useful in the care of the sick. They can smell these chemicals in our breath.
We only need train them to identify and associate these chemicals with diseases and warn us. Looks to me our chances of early disease diagnosis are better with the dogs than the doctors.
Maybe Cesar can help us!
