The Science they DON’T want you to read.
Contrary to the propaganda pushed by force-free ideologists, punishment isn't a last resort! it's often the ONLY option that works in real world cases.
“Punishment is effective in reducing problem behavior in clinical populations, and in some cases, may be an essential component of treatment... Punishment also may be preferable to reinforcement-based treatments when problem behavior must be suppressed rapidly to prevent serious physical harm.”
Before you hit the keyboards, let me remind you - These are NOT opinions. These are peer reviewed facts backed by decades of applied and basic research.
It’s time we stop demonizing the use of aversives in training and behavior treatment and start demanding evidence-based discussions.

The truth hurts....

SSRIs for Dogs?! A dangerous trend backed by weak science
AVSAB and force-free trainers push SSRIs as a humane fix for behavioral issues, but the research behind them is sketchy at best! Mostly owner surveys, small studies, and zero long-term safety data.
A recent study found that people taking SSRIs had higher levels of a brain protein linked to neurodegeneration and Alzheimer’s.

If these drugs may harm human brains long-term, what could they be doing to dogs, who age much faster?

Side effects include -increased aggression
-lethargy
-withdrawal symptoms
-personality blunting
But you won’t hear that from the AVSAB
The pharmaceutical industry has no interest in vet schools teaching these risks. Most vets prescribing SSRIs DON’T even know the full consequences. Yet force-free advocates reject effective training tools while blindly promoting psychiatric drugs.

So who really has dogs’ best interests in mind?

Busy times at Kaizen K9. Our assistance dog program is going well!

Some fun with Stan #kneesovertoesdog

26 Feb 25 Very busy day at Kaizen K9 today. Elvis. He's a large hound cross of some description. Friendly giant but a giant nonetheless. His people just want a dog that comes when called. Unfortunately, Elvis has selective hearing. Did some training incorporating negative reinforcement, positive reinforcement, and play. The owners are getting there and Elvis is getting it also. Odin. An XL bully with high prey drive. He's got to learn where that's appropriate. He needs genetic fulfilment, clear guidance, control, and love and affection. We created a plan to help them moving forward. Another challenging dog with great owners willing to do the work. Odin. A boerbeol. He's naturally suspicious of strangers as is common with this breed. Unfortunately he's also displaying dog aggression towards the other family dog. A challenging situation indeed. We are building a foundation of genetic fulfilment, control, while managing the situation. We will build on the control which is key, while managing things to prevent an accident. Again, committed owners is key. Sullivan. A dog reactive rotty that presents as a very scary and imposing dog. However his actions are frustration based with some insecurities. We have given a plan including play, premack principle, management, and control. We need to show Sullivan he's safe, and random dogs are not of interest. The fun comes from your owner. Another challenging case but with a great committed owners we should get there. Kaizen K9 don't avoid the difficult dogs. We are where the difficult dogs go when owners are committed to creating the behaviours they want and extinguishing the behaviours they don't. It doesn't always work. These are very difficult problems. However, we won't let that stop us trying. We don't give up.
