Replying to @Dog Sense these types of statements are often weaponised to support an ideology & in this case the ‘aversives should never be used & are never needed’ extreme ideology. But these are discussions on THEORY. We cant draw black & white conclusions from theory. *To add, as pointed out by @Canine Consilience the correct terminology to use is “reinforces the behavior not the person”. #positivereinforcement #positivereinforcementdogtraining #dogtraining #dogtrainer #balancedtraining

This was an interesting point from yeaterdays Inst@gram LIVE. “Punishing reinforcers the punisher” Have you heard of this concept? If you’d like me to make a post about it (along with the nuance), ..type DO IT! in the comments! #positivereinforcementdogtraining #balancedtraining

A snippet of yesterdays LIVE on Inst@ Kiwi aversion training is part of a gov conservation scheme aimed at protecting New Zealands national animal (Kiwi: a very fragile flightless bird). We also discussed extreme ideologies, what we agree on, what we dont & the comment that prompted this live. Its up now.. #positivereinforcementdogtraining #balanceddogtraining
