Genau so!

Worked with a dog yesterday with a bite history. The people had been advised by the previous "trainer" to keep the dog on a 12inch/30cm slip lead and correct the dog every time he showed unwanted behaviours. This "trainer" also took the dog away from them for training so they neither knew what he was doing nor could actually learn what to do.

We worked for an hour in the garden with the dog. We set things up well, observed his body language, were aware of his and our movements and behaviour. The result was a happy, relaxed dog who approached me several times to investigate me. At no time did I feel under threat or at risk of getting bitten. At no time did I scold, correct, intimidate, bully or coerce the dog. Funny that when you treat animals and people respectfully, they respond without aggression.

Beware the dig whisperers, the k9 psychologists and those with a religious dogma in relation to training. It's about time we stopped looking at dog behaviour through a moral lens and started looking at it through a scientific lens. The world would be a better place.

Another dog off a slip collar. A successful day and a happy me.

Love and peace.

Warum sind diese Leinen/Halsbänder blos so in Mode? Übersetzung ist unten!

I posted a few weeks ago on the use of slip leads and how we should never use them as a training tool. Someone who uses them posted this picture in response and said this is correct placement of them. Let me break some of this down.

I've done various martial arts for over 30 years. I've been doing Brazilian Jiu jitsu for over a decade. Many jiu jitsu attacks are against various points on the neck. There are three ways we can submit (use pain) to beat an opponent

1. Attack the air supply so they can't breathe
2. Attack the arteries supplying blood to the brain so that they pass out
3. Attack various pressure points (nerve bundles) which cause pain (most hardened jiu jitsu players will battle through this, but it still hurts)

When the slip lead is placed as shown in the photo, number 3 is most likely in play, followed by number 2. The dog then "behaves" in order to escape the pressure causing the pain/discomfort when it's applied, so the handler releases it, or they learn to behave in order to avoid it's application.

My sport is about applying pressure to various places in the body. When sparring against an able opponent, everything you do is about escaping/avoiding that pain/discomfort. People starting the sport often freak out on the mats. I've seen people quit, have mild panic attacks, cry, and use lots if displacement behaviours because of the pressure. The difference is, they can quit or tap out at any time. Your dog can't. They're forced into the pain/discomfort. They can't choose not to wear the slip lead.

It's 2022. We don't lobotomise mental health patients anymore and most of us don't strike children to discipline them. We need to reject the use of coercion in dog training too. Run from any person who tells you to use one.

Lastly if this post causes an adverse reaction in you, ask yourself why. Cognitive dissonance is very powerful. I have no issue with deleting comments and blocking people. You will not have a voice on this platform justifying or condoning these tools.

N.b. the picture is not mine, but it was posted publicly on this page.

Wirklich interessant

Spielen Hunde? Ja, sie spielen aber selten ist es Spiel. Missinterpretation von Spiel führt zu Verhaltensproblemen bei Hunden.
