Dear Friends,

I am writing to express my concerns about your upcoming Raising the Perfect Pet Collaboration with Martha Stewart, especially in light of recent misguided and harmful puppy tips she put forth.

I am an internationally-known professional dog trainer/behavior consultant and seminar speaker, author of 10 books on dog training and behavior, past Training Editor of the Whole Dog Journal, and owner of my own dog training business, Peaceable Paws LLC. You can find me here: www.peaceablepaws.com .

The misinformation put out by some celebrities and celebrity "trainers" is doing a lot of harm. Dogs have already been subjected to horrific treatment because of outlandish recommendations by folks like Cesar Milan, and sadly, Martha Stewart appears to be following his ridiculous, flawed, scientifically debunked "dominance theory." These methods put dogs, their humans, and their larger communities at risk. In fact, I wonder if Royal Canin would be held responsible if people are injured using Stewart's ill-advised recommendation to bite their puppy's nose.

Please reconsider.

Here are a couple of position statements on relevant topics from the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior:
-https://avsab.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Dominance_Position_Statement-download.pdf
-https://avsab.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/AVSAB-Humane-Dog-Training-Position-Statement-2021.pdf

Modern, educated, science-based trainers are well aware of these, and are committed to using positive-reinforcement based methods that invite the dog's cooperation and strengthen and enhance the human-animal bond.

I encourage you to be aware of this dichotomy in today's dog training world, and hope you will aim for future relationships that embrace the modern, humane approach to dog training, behavior and caretaking. If you're looking for a celebrity, Victoria Stillwell is amazing. Otherwise, there are Veterinary Behaviorists and a wealth of certified force-free behavior professionals who could do a much better job of representing Royal Canin to the dog-loving public.

Please let me know if I can be of service to you in any way to help make this happen. Thank you for your attention...

Warm Woofs,

Science is showing us that dogs are as emotionally capable as we are.
They are equally as emotionally fragile.
In these times of broken information - and methods which shun facts and findings - dogs need someone who can help them to live in this human focused environment with kindness, empathy and ethics.
Dogs need to be kept safe from both intentional and unintentional harm.
Be on the right side of history.
