This is a nice story and i would want to know more about the subliminal dominance techniques.

But I think, that it is impossible to compare pure wolves and wolf hybrids with a dog breed like
CW and SAS. I can=B4t talk for Saarloos, but CW=B4s are normal dog breed with up to 30% of wolf
blood, which are simply more receptive to shyness and they need special attention.

I had been this weekend at CW summer camp and i was again surprised, how many wolfdogs
there were shy and problematic. I also noticed, that the most shy dogs were usually those of
owners from other countries than Czech Republic (excepts dogs of Margo and Przemek).

What a luck, that i personally know the same number of wolfdogs, who are normal and
not shy at all, and are trainable and well behaving.

I have been thinking about reasons for this, and still i am not sure. Maybe in other countries
are different rules to treat the dog? I can=B4t believe that the problem would be only in the dogs.
More i believe, it=B4s a problem of not enough socialisation in early age of the wolfdogs, and
not enough of attention and training. With our breed, the basics of it=B4s character are made before
two, maximally three months of it=B4s age. With education and training, you can continue to form
the character of the dog up to one year of age, but after this .. no big changes.
