Using electric shock collars on dogs in the twenty-first century might be a competence issue: a trainer may feel dependent on using them and not know how to wean themselves off. It might also be a psychological issue: a trainer might feel competent training without one but prefer shocking dogs. If you think about this latter case, it is either that such trainers either don't see the suffering inflicted or they don't care. If it were a child inflicting pain deliberately on an animal, we'd flag them for possible psycopathy. Child or adult, it's an issue for mental health professionals.

One key reason I developed Really Real Relaxation is that I got angry watching a trainer teach a dog to relax.

What they meant by relax was laying down with head on the ground between the paws and not moving at all, no matter what happened. If the dog lifted his head to look at the trainer who was stomping all around the dog, a big correction was forthcoming. It didn’t take long for the dog to figure out there was only one right answer: lay still, don’t move, keep head down no matter what.

You can imagine what that dog looked like: shut down, inhibited, anxious. But the trainer was delighted with the results. I felt so badly for that poor dog, and knew there had to be much better ways to help a dog relax.

It's not every day you get to ask a HOT TOPIC question of a Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionist... but when you do, you better listen up.

This was what Dr Patton said in response to our question about the supposed link between DCM & grain-free diets. Interesting, right? 🧐

If you'd like to see the full interview with him that covers his expert opinions surrounding grain-free dog foods, you can find it on our website: https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/canine-nutrition/truth-grain-free-dog-food/
