💔 𝗨𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦: HELP SAVE THESE PRECIOUS DOGS! 🐾

📍 Waterfall, KZN

We’re sharing on behalf of Mazarat Animal Rescue NPO 162-698 who urgently need to find foster homes for their dogs. Due to unforeseen circumstances, they have to vacate the kennels, and these sweet souls are in desperate need of your help.

Princess and her two pups, Spot and Jack lived on scraps in Durban, and were often left to roam the streets. Thankfully, a kind neighbour fed them and persuaded the family to surrender them for a better life. Now they’re waiting for the love and care they’ve never truly known.

🌸 Blossom has blossomed (no pun intended!) into a gentle, loving dog. Then there are the three musketeers: Sammy, Sassy, and Sadie—all house-trained and brought up with cats. They are sweet, affectionate dogs who deserve a safe and loving place to call home.

🙏 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, even if just for a little while? Fostering can save lives, giving them the chance they need to find forever homes.

Please contact Margie on 📞 +27 65 836 3203 or send a WhatsApp: https://wa.me/27658363203/

‼️Position Statement on the Use of Punishment and Aversive Techniques and Tools in Canine Behaviour Training ‼️

In light of recent discussions on social media, we feel it is necessary to once again clarify our position and that of all our members at International Canine Behaviourists. As a community of professionals dedicated to the well-being of dogs, we unequivocally reject the use of punishment and aversive techniques in canine behaviour training. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of tools such as shock collars, prong collars, choke chains, and any methods that inflict pain, fear, or discomfort on dogs.

The overwhelming consensus among scientific professionals is that punishment-based methods are not only ineffective but also very damaging to the well-being of ALL dogs. Numerous studies have demonstrated that these techniques can cause significant psychological and physical harm to dogs, leading to increased aggression, anxiety, and other behavioural issues. Furthermore, they fail to address the root causes of undesirable behaviour and often exacerbate the problems they aim to correct. There is never an individual, breed or behaviour struggle that warrants punishment and moreover, we feel it is morally wrong and shows a lack of empathy and skill in training and behaviour modification.

We stand firmly behind the principles of positive reinforcement and force-free training methods, which are supported by the latest research in animal behaviour science. These approaches not only foster a strong, trusting bond between dogs and their handlers but also ensure that training is both effective and humane. We believe that all dogs deserve to be treated with respect and compassion, and that their well-being should always be the top priority in any training programme.

All members of International Canine Behaviourists adhere to a strict code of conduct, which you can read here. This code ensures that our practices are aligned with the highest ethical standards and that we are committed to promoting the welfare of dogs through evidence-based, force-free and fear-free training methods.

We urge all dog owners, trainers, and behaviourists to reject punitive methods and to embrace the wealth of positive, science-backed alternatives available. Together, we can create a world where every dog is trained with the kindness, understanding, and respect they deserve.
