When I challenge abusive dog training techniques, it’s easy for some to dismiss it as mere extremism. Yet, this isn’t a matter of two extremes clashing.

Consider this: My approach is in lockstep with the guidelines set by top global behavioral organizations. On the flip side, the methods I oppose? They’re not just overlooked by these experts; they’re actively condemned.

Aversive punishmentbased dog training methods NEVER address the actual underlying causes of behaviors, they are known to be harmful, and there are alternatives that are more effective (for any dog), without the risks of harm.

So, ask yourself, where does extremism truly lie?

This is not a debate or a matter of opinion. It’s scientificallybacked, ethical training VS outdated, injurious practices.

Beaux is a dog from one of my classes who would have certainly lashed out in fear if he were put in a situation like the dogs who attend “Dog Daddy” workshops find themselves in.

I invite you to see the stark difference for yourself. Who is truly at the extremes?

For those who label me an extremist in dog training circles, I’d like to pose a simple question: Which aspect of these evidencebased practices do you find extreme?

Let’s delve into the specifics and demystify where our perspectives diverge.
