Time is ticking, this force free agenda and the online trainers behind it are dangerously misinformed and their lack of experience and knowledge, could end up costing thousands of lives, both human and canine.

How do we turn the tide?

Below is a link to an episode of Ivan Balabanov’s “Training Without Conflict” podcast in which he discusses the topic (amongst others) with Michael Ellis.

A bit of a rant but when some of your more popular force free trainers have a hard time with tough working dogs and the blame is immediately placed on the dog, it gives me little faith on the future of the working dog.

Nancy working her showline GSD or doing sport work with her biddable malinois through treats and toys only is not a good representation of the working dog.

Are you aware of police dogs and MWDs that will shred a bad guy even while getting stabbed or shot? Do you know there’s a certain level of toughness and lack of biddability a dog has to have to not comply with that level of pressure? Those are the dogs you have to say “no” to in training, those are the dogs you have to use tools on in training, those are also the dogs the purely positive community will take out of the gene pool if legislation advances to every corner of the dog industry. If so whatever dopamine happy dog will be left will run at the first sign of confrontation as the endorphin dogs will then be a thing of the past.

I’m not condoning abuse and the industry definitely has to improve. Old school trainers have to evolve and use more modern approaches, but the fact still remains, we need more tough dogs, not less, the kind your average trainer who just got her certification online cannot handle.
