AGREE OR DISAGREE: We need to consider the public’s wellbeing before we worry about the feelings of dog trainers who are still promoting outdated methods. ✨ Many people who call themselves dog trainers today are still teaching and promoting methods that evidence has shown are not just unnecessary and possibly harmful to dogs, but are also detrimental to public health and safety in their community. When dog trainers point this out among their peers, it’s common to hear “but why aren’t you being more positive in your interactions with those trainers?” But should we be? As a dog trainer, my goal is to help the public have the best possible life with their dogs. Being tolerant, or silent, when I see trainers advising the public to use problematic methods that are known to be potentially harmful to dogs and their relationship with the people around them does the opposite of that. I would love to hear ALL of your thoughts on this topic! There’s so much to discuss.
