Anon user has posted here and in
dog society that recent research says there is no dominance hierarchy. I've heard or read nothing to that effect. Has anyone heard such a thing and are there sources to cite for this?

I have learned so much in the last few years. There is TONS of research out there showing that "dominance hierarchy" among dogs and people is nonsense and that Cesar Milan, in particular, has misused this outdated theory as an excuse to use aversive techniques for training dogs (kicking, grabbing, choking, etc.). If anyone else encounters this comment, I'd be glad to provide additional information.

Training collars section cleanup
The section listing training collars has inconsistent formatting and bad grammer, especially the section on Head Collars. —The preceding

There is no consensus about the use of slip collars. The bolded statement about not using slip collars for regular training is not neutral. I've marked it as not being neutral. (—Preceding

I've just removed the notice, as the statement you refer to no longer seems to be in the article, and on reading the section, it appears to give a balanced picture.

Woodhouse Collar?
This section would benefit from a discussion of the Woodhouse training collar, as it is significantly more effective and humane than traditional "choke" collars. —Preceding

As far as I can tell, the woodhouse collar is a choke collar. Can you provide more info on how the collar differs?

I propose that
Amour Amour Diamond Dog Collar be merged here; it's an article on a specific dog collar and I don't think it really needs its own article (or like 12 sources), but I didn't dare merge it without a discussion because it has so many sources attached to it.--TKKbark !14:13, 5 February 2013 (UTC)reply
I disagree with this merge proposal. The article on dog collars is a general article about types of collars (flat, prong, etc.), whereas the
Amour Amour is a specific collar brand. In reality the Amour Amour appears to be a simple, albeit expensive, buckle collar (
http://www.ilovedogsdiamonds.com/amour-amour-p-1.html). At most it warrants a mention in the "See also" section but not a section of its own. For a parallel situation, see
Automobile and
Bugatti (which the Amour Amour is claimed to resemble):
Automobile is an overview article about cars without a section on Bugatti, and the specific
Bugatti article is separate. —

Article is biased towards prong collars
I feel this article is biased towards the use of prong collars. One source is cited twice. She denounces head collars and praises prong collars. There are plenty of professional trainers who say just the opposite. Just as there is "controversy" over the head collar, There is controversy over the prong collar. It's a debate between the two. Google "prong collar vs. gentle leader" and you'll see what I mean. —Preceding

Not him but the prong collar section is still a mess. It was recently edited to be anti-prong with plenty snide comments, an unsourced sentence pointing to the existence of footage showing the dogs are in discomfort, and quotes added around key words for sarcasm (eg: proper prong collar use -> "proper" prong collar use). Whole thing reads like an angry rant, summary is even Eliminated misinformation and misleading language.
Not that the previous version is good at all either, definitely pro-prong and contains unencyclopedic gems such as "properly care for your furry friend".
