Excellent article about canine training and behaviour.

A good read for any dog owner, or anyone thinking of getting a dog.

Yes. I would only add that is should read "Why "some" dog trainers need to change their ways

Agreed. There are great trainers out there, sadly some people are too influenced by what they see on tv and don't know the potential problems and that alternatives are available.
