Really? What a surprise! Dogs in a harness don’t have pressure applied to their trachea (wind pipe); of course they are capable of pulling harder. This is actually evidence of the debilitating force being applied to the dog’s trachea and thyroid gland, but is being presented in a completely misleading way. The harness can’t stop pulling, that’s what training is for, it merely reduces risk and is far more humane than applying force to the neck. Completely irresponsible headline.

Even if you don't work with stranger-directed aggression cases, you've probably had some scary moments - and if you haven't, you probably will.

Earlier this year, I joined my dear friend, Sarah at The Cognitive Canine with Sarah Stremming CDBC , and we shared some of our scariest moments in behavior consulting. SPOILER: They weren't in aggression cases!

Hear how we carefully screen clients and tips for staying safe.

Professionals are often charged with the task of cleaning up the mess made by an amateur.

It happens across professions, whether it's a hairstylist fixing a bad color job or a behavior consultant like me contending with the damages caused to a dog with inhumane training. I am often the 3rd or 4th trainer a person comes to, in an attempt to help their dog (and thank goodness for their perseverance!)

Trust me, your path will be much smoother and the costs (both monetary and emotional) will ultimately be much less if you start with a qualified professional from the beginning.
