Quote:
From my limited personal observation I do not believe that compulsion
would be too successful for any dog with wolf blood in it including the
CSV and the SAR.
It certainly does not work for breeds exhibiting lesser tendencies of
neotony such as the Alaskan Malamute or the CAnadian EskimoDog. [--]

According to Stephen Jay Gould, neotony is described as:
[...] the result of developmental retardation at various stages of human
ancestral and foetal development, as well as at various juvenile stages of
primate development. In other words, the foetal and/or juvenile traits of
our ancestors or own species are retained into later stages of individual
development.
This is an interesting subject and I should very much appreciate your
comments on this theme as well as on how wolves and wolfdogs might be
trained by subliminal dominance .
