Seeing owners comment on a recent community page about someone looking for help with their dog just calcified why we have so many dog issues.
The amount of half truth's, myths, and straight up lies is why owners are so confused and dogs are struggling to fit into our human world. I never chime in because it is not it is not worth my time. First tools do not train dogs, all tools can be used right and wrong but the HUMAM must know how to use it and then teach the dog, it ALL starts with the human and home life (which no advice was given on how to change the human and home environment),
There is NO such thing as all positive training, and NO such thing as force free. All dog trainers use a high percentage of positive reinforcement, and all dog trainers use forms of punishment. Both of those things are NOT what owners think they are.
We are making training a dog way to complicated, common sense goes a long way. Are there some complex difficult dogs in this world, Yep.... just not as many as the internet tells you there are.
