Little Christmas skit we did for class, unfortunately Bullet is not looking for talent agents at the moment. Take a moment to follow my fellow classmates K90 Degree Dog Training and https://www.instagram.com/trojanhorsecanineacademy?igsh=MWYxb3MweTEzajU1Mg== on facebook and Instagram!

Outcomes matter!

In this solo podcast, I address the broader argument against aversive tools in dog training promoted by the AVSAB and the R+-only movement.

Recently, Dr. Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association, commented on the use of electronic collars in dog training. That comment triggered backlash and a strong response from Dr. Lisa Radosta, President of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.

But this presentation is not about personalities.

It’s about the claim that aversives never have a place in dog training.

Using peer-reviewed research, learning theory, and real-world outcomes, I examine whether the “no aversives ever” position is actually supported by evidence and what happens to dogs when ideology overrides results.

At the end, I invite you, the trainers and owners, to share stories of dogs who are alive today because balanced training worked when nothing else did.

Outcomes matter.

Our Trainer Mitch has returned after six long months of intensive training from (Highland K9) School for Dog Trainers in North Carolina!

He graduated Valedictorian (highest overall grade) and earned the following awards: Alpha Beta Kapa (National Honor Society 4.0 GPA), Honor Graduate (3.8 GPA or Higher), Academic Distinction (highest overall grades) in both the service dog program and detection program, shelter ambassador (volunteered at the local shelter throughout the program), veteran graduate (awarded to military veterans), and Student Excellence (extracurricular program outside of class that includes 10 challenges students must complete).

We are happy to have him home and will be implementing many changes in the coming months, along with assisting in starting up the Roger Up service dog program!

We are now booking in-home evaluations! Reach out today on our website at mntopdogtraining.com, or call us at 651-500-8018!
