It’s a clown world out there 🤡
😂😂😂

Pack theory has been debunked.

Dogs do not need leadership and guidance.

Dogs do not need to be told no. Ever.

All you need to do is to ignore bad behaviour or walk away. (withhold affection and attention). Wait till they stop, then give them a treat. Even if your dog or puppy is hurting you, never say no or correct the behaviour. It is backed by science.

So, how is that working?

At least this is what a lot of "trainers" have been advising people.

What do you think?

Communicate clearly, and reap the rewards…

Positive only isn’t a dog training method, it’s a cult.

Balanced training is 99% positive reward based but there comes a time in a dogs development where negative reinforcement is essential for some elements of the training in order to proof what is required.
I’ve worked with 6 dogs over the last 2 years that positive only ‘trainers’ all instructed the owners to put to sleep - all now living happily and safely in family environments!
The attached post is great!

Positive only is a bit like socialism, looks great on paper but doesn’t work in the real world!

DM me for a better relationship with your dog 😊

Putting a dog down and condemning them to death because you refuse to use any method that isn't "positive only" isn't very positive...

Sedating a dog into a zombie because you don't like other training tools isn't very positive...

Restricting a dog to a confined life without the chance to thrive isn't very positive...

Telling someone to put down their 8 month old working line dog for having lots of energy and acting like an 8-month-old working dog isn't very positive...

Guilting a young family that lives in an apartment into adopting a large dog with behavior issues isn't very positive...

Telling an older lady their dog would be better off dead then using a prong collar that helps her walk and control her dog isn't very positive....

Bashing other trainers because they don't train dogs using only one method isn't very positive...

Having an owner put a 5 month old puppy on 400mg of trazadone isn't very positive...

Harming dogs because of your own ego isn't very positive...

All of the things I just listed are REAL things that owners have dealt with by "certified positive only trainers and behaviorists."

Anyone can be certified online for $50. It means nothing.

Dogs and their humans deserve real trainers who care and emphasize for both ends of the leash. Trainers who will tailor training to each dog in front of them. Don't be fooled by the "positive" sounding approach. That's just fancy marketing from people who care more about their ego and lining their pockets rather than helping the dog community.

I've chosen to speak out on this because I care and hate seeing dogs harmed. The positive only cult is doing more harm than good to dogs. Dogs and owners that are already having a difficult time. Enough is enough.

Our residential dogs have just had their last walk of the day, what a beautiful evening with the moon shining bright over APK9 HQ. I still pinch myself when I see how far this love affair with dogs has come 🙏🏻 Grateful for every day here being able to do what I do 🙏🏻

DM me to find out how your dog can become part of our residential training success stories.

I will be at the Farm and Pet Place (Mold) open day this Saturday 24th August from 10am. I will be carrying out free assessments and offering free help and advice on how you can build a better relationship with your dog. From bad manners and lead pulling to severe reactivity and aggression - whatever your dog, whatever your problem I can help.
It's a drop in so appointments will be on a first come first served basis.
See you there...

Handover day with Saxon, Sam and Trin…
As always, it’s been a privilege to be part of a families life changing journey with their dog.🙏🏻 Saxon has been a star throughout and time has flown with this boy. He’s still the same dog - only now he’s got the manners and the level of obedience that he needs for a better life. An absolute credit to Sam and Trin 😊

Better dog, better life.
The reason I do what I do what I do 🙏🏻🐕😊

DM me if you need help with your dog… 😊

Not normally a fan of a hairy ball sack resting on my leg, but I’ll make an exception this time!
Joking aside, you know what this means when your dog does this.
Build the relationship first. Once you’ve got their trust then the good work can begin…
