Do you have any dog treats in your house right now?
Yes - a dog lives with me
Yes - someone sometimes brings their dog round
Yes - I sometimes give them to the neighbour's dog or strangers dogs
No - I have a dog but I ran out of treats
No - I don't have a dog
Idk if this can be asked sorry if not (really). So, in a previous post you mention that a lot of tv "dog masters" use harmful techniques to train dogs. Could you elaborate, please?
vet-and-wild here.
A lot of the methods they use are just outdated or based on pseudoscience. Cesar Milan (the dog whisperer) is the most well known, but certainly not the only one. He uses dominance theory and tells people to dominate abuse their dogs to get them to stop problem behaviors. Dominance theory has been long debunked, and the way he uses it isn’t even how wolf social hierarchies work anyway. Not only has he straight up choked out dogs on TV, but using this techniques actually often increases aggressive behaviors and gets rid of warning signs, which is super dangerous for the owners that are doing it. It also damages trust between dogs and their owners. All of that has been documented with positive punishment (which is basically what he’s doing). Really any of these trainers that ignore science and use outdated techniques are a problem.

My friend made a store! Look at the cool dog rescue stuff!
Can anyone point me to a video or other source that teaches how prong collars are supposed to be used? I’ve only ever seen them used, I can only hope, improperly. I’ve only seen the physical and emotional damage they cause and the problem behaviors they worsen.
I’m just looking for better understanding, and I don’t know where to turn for reliable information. It seems like a lot of trainers (especially on the internet) are on one side or the other and don’t provide non-biased information.
Can anyone help me out?
