THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT KAREN PRYOR,
THE QUEEN OF CLICKER TRAINING

Karen Pryor, the author of “Don’t Shoot the Dog,” and the queen of clicker training, kept her own much-loved Border Terrier behind an Invisible Fence with a powerfully aversive electronic collar that delivered several thousand volts if the dog tried to cross a buried wire.

Did punishment make her dog aggressive?

It did not.

Did punishment make her dog fearful?

It did not.

Did punishment ruin her relationship with the dog?

It did not.

And did punishment work to keep her dog in the yard?

Yep. Like new money.

Did Ms. Pryor need to know WHY her dog wanted to leave the yard?

Nope. She just needed to provide persuasive and consistent punishment when it did — and an electonic fence collar did that, and does that.

And so we get to the bottom line: Punishment and only punishment will stop a powerfully self-rewarding unwanted behavior.

A tug on a web collar is punishment, same as a tap on an e-collar.

If you do not know what punishment means — or how to apply it in the context of dog training — then you need to go read up on that.

Punishment is not torture, nor is it ongoing, nor does it create a massive amount of psychological damage to the dog, nor does it always need to be powerful. Electric and electronic fences do not torture the dog or the cow — they provided perfectly timed negative consequences and the “no go” lesson is quickly learned.

You do not need to know WHY the dog is doing the unwanted behavior.

The Invisible Fence does not care if the dog is chasing a deer or a squirrel.

It does not matter if the dog is interested in the bitch in heat seven yards over, or if they hear a yowling cat on the neighbor's porch.

The Invisible Fence does not care if the dog is bored or excited, curious or enraged.

The Invisible Fence does not care because correcting unwanted self-rewarding behavior is not about psychology; it's about sending a clear, consistent, and insistent NO signal. And, in a well trained dog, that signal can be fairly subtle and slight.

If you are talking to a dog trainer that does not understand this one basic thing, go elsewhere, because it's a simple and provable fact that you cannot keep a dog inside a small yard with cookies alone.

Karen Pryor knew.

What did Karen Pryor NOT know?

Believe it or not, she did not know how to walk her Border Terrier off-leash in the woods.

Cookies and a clicker, it seems, were no match for the prey drive of a 15-pound working terrier.

Imagine you're minding your own business and a stranger runs over to you and hugs you. "It's ok I'm friendly!" They exclaim.

It's not friendly. It's rude.

You'd probably push them off of you and tell them to scram.

It's the same with our dogs.

There is never any reason your dog "needs to say hi" to another dog they don't know. Especially on a leash.

Here are just a few reasons why:

Dogs don't say hi face to face.

Especially when on a leash, dogs can feel tense and they have no way to get away if they are uncomfortable with another dog in their face.

Most owners do not know dog body language well enough to pull this off and even us professionals NEVER EVER introduce dogs on a leash face to face.

Face-to-face on a leash is a great way to start a dog fight.

The VAST MAJORITY of dogs do not want a strange dog smelling their face. Would you want a hug from a stranger?

Remember to advocate for your dog and if you do want to "introduce" your dog to another dog, start with a side-by-side walk on neutral ground. Dogs can smell each other and other humans perfectly fine from 3 feet away. (Same reason you don't need to stick your hand in a dog's face to "smell you")
