The guy who coined the term "alpha" actually came right out and said so). I just wanted to let the OP know that hard jerks on the leash may have health consequences, especially with a smaller dog like a Dachshund. I'm NOT going to continue this training debate, so say what you want - my only concern was HEALTH.

You can't really talk about health like dogs might somehow get cancer from the collar
when there's thousands of dogs being put down because the owners just give up on them.
And a leash correction is inhumane? Yea let's see your experts try to reason with a dog when his instinct kick in. I can say I've seen owners abusing voice command to no avail. It looks pathetic because it doesn't work. You know when I first brought my Daschund home, he barks when we went out. Somebody complained and you know what the manager told me? "Get a shock collar". Maybe you can try educate people like that first people you pick on Milan. And the "light pull" is a snap and relax. It CANNOT cause fucking cancer. It's nothing like a mother discipline her puppy. Have you seen any videos? The dog mother grabs the puppy by the neck. She doesn't stand there and bark like a retard. This is not like you know, in the movie, where dogs can talk.
Milan helps saving those poor soul's lives by you know offering a method that give results on a national TV program. How come those experience trainers and experts and shits haven't done anything like that? Maybe they're too scared the dogs with issues will bite the shit out of them? Come on man.
Good for you that you have a well-behaved dog but pick on a guy that understand dog psychology probably more than you or any of your experts...
People like Ian Dunbar needs to take a hike, go back to their books and realize there are no "best" way to train a dog. There are working ways. Leash correction for the short period of training causing cancer is the single most retarded thing I've ever heard. You train your dog for a short time, he's got it and that's that. You rarely have to do any correction afterwards.
