People love to assume they know exactly how a dog was trained based on the equipment they can see.
Harness? ✅
Retractable lead? ✅
Loose lead walking? ✅
So does that automatically mean this dog was trained using a positive-only approach?
Or could other training tools and methods have played a role in achieving this result?
The truth is, a 21-second clip rarely tells the full story.
I’m curious…
Do you think you can accurately identify a training method just by looking at the equipment being used?
Are people judging training methods based on results… or based on appearances?👇 Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
