This sounds great, I really need to see this! www.dogwise.com/ItemDetails.cfm?ID=DEG1070Tough Love: A Meditation on Dominance and Dogs Many dog owners believe that they are supposed to establish themselves as the "alpha dog" in relation to their pets, but the notion that cherished "best friends" are meant to strictly obey our will is a paradox. This documentary feature examines how we reconcile feelings of love and respect with expectations of submission and compliance. It’s a commonly accepted idea that dogs are “man’s best friend.” We give them a special place in our lives and they are, in turn, loyal companions. At the same time, many modern dog owners also believe that they are meant to establish themselves as the “alpha dog” in relation to their pets. This is a status supposedly achieved through attitudes and acts of domination, varying by emphasis on physical restraint and disciplinary “correction.” Yet the notion that cherished “best friends” are meant to strictly obey our will is something of a paradox. Featuring: Sophia Yin Nicole Wilde Karen Pryor Gail Fisher Monty Sloan and many more
