"Dog Whisperer" has Taught Me A Lot on How to Handle People

http://www.cesarsway.com/dogwhisperer/

I've discovered a great show on how to handle animals. Cesar handles dogs by being confident but assertive. He does not back down from snarling dogs. He stays firm, in control, let's them know who's the boss. He gives affection when he wants to. Strangely, you'd think the dogs hate such a dominant master. But they actually love and respect such a master.

It's the same as with humans. You love them. Want the best for them. But you don't cower or kowtow to them. You stand firm if you know what's right.
