LOVE this :

Being a leader isn't putting a dog in a scary or stressful situation and then reacting to their reaction by putting a bark collar on them and punishing them for acting predictably. That is the opposite of leadership.

I like it! It is such a difficult concept to convey isn't it, that dogs do need our "leadership", as in making decisions on their behalf to keep them happy and safe, and equipping them to live comfortably in our world, but they don't need or want us to be their "alpha" or "pack leader".

This bit made me chuckle:

"Does the dog learn something from this example? Yes, they will learn by example to build a kennel for their dogs when they grow up… wait, no, that would be leadership between humans and other humans."
