Paul Owens is the original dog whisperer. He explains how the moniker was “permanently borrowed” by Cesar Millan. In his latest book is Training for the Joy of Dogs: 50 Lessons Learned, Owens describes the advantages of positive reinforcement training compared punishment based training, which was about the only choice when he began training 50 years ago. He talks about what is sometime a spontaneous connection between dogs and children, and why that’s often true. He says his great Aunt was right, don’t bother dogs when they’re eating and let sleeping dogs lie. Capturing – Luring- Cueing – Shaping is Owens’ model, which he explains.
