IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP❗️
The Force-Free Lobby Is Moving Fast.

Dog training is under attack, not by science, not by welfare concerns, but by ideology disguised as ethics!

A new “Joint Standards of Practice” was just released by APDT, IAABC, KPA and others.
If this becomes the accepted “standard of care,” here’s what follows:
Tool bans
Licensing controlled only by force-free organizations
Elimination of R- and P+ from professional training
Criminalization or disqualification of balanced trainers
Courts and legislators using THEIR paperwork as the only definition of “humane”

This is not accidental.
It is a coordinated move to take over the entire profession and silence everyone who isn’t “science based”!
And once this framework is adopted, reversing it will be impossible.

We need to step up now.
Not next year.
Not when a ban hits your city. Now❗️

If you haven’t joined IACP you need to do it.

I also believe there has to be a Balanced Training Coalition!!!
A unified front of trainers, working-dog professionals, behaviorists, and organizations who refuse to let ideology rewrite the laws of learning or erase the methods that keep people and dogs safe.

For my Vietnam mates. Mark Singer is one of the best in the business.

𝕍𝕚𝕔𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕒 𝔽𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕤 ℝ𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕙 is nearing completion, and our 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 & 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐬 will officially commence at the 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 — that’s 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝘅 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆! We’ll begin accepting bookings in 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 for the January opening, so please visit my website for further details, as they are updated.

A variety of 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 & 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀 will be available, including:
✅ 𝐎𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 — from basic foundations to advanced off-lead work
✅ 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 — helping dogs overcome behavioural issues such as fear, reactivity, aggression, and other related challenges
✅ 𝐏𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 — to help your puppy get off to the right start
✅ 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 — including 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙖𝙞𝙩 and 𝙨𝙣𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 to help keep dogs safe in real-world environments

The facility will also be 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐄𝐓 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲, offering both 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 and 𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 & 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗘𝗧 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆! 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲𝘀 — 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀.

𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝
Sadly, there have been regular reports of 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙨 being found in the streets and parks around Hanoi, along with cases of dogs becoming extremely sick — and in some instances dying, after ingesting them. The 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙖𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢 provides an effective way to help protect dogs, teaching them to recognise and avoid these dangerous substances whether 𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙.

Stay tuned for more updates as 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡 prepares to open and welcome the first dogs for 𝙗𝙤𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜!

The insanity of the woke left force free ideologists.
A painful death for sheep when attacked and the dog is euthanized so it’s Death before discomfort for the dog.
Plus council imposed fines, lawsuits etc.
it seems the big end of town makes a tidy profit from compliance.

From a piece in Farmers Weekly in 2023 when the Westminster Parliament was considering a ban of e-collars.

National Sheep Association chief executive saying a ban of e-collars is not necessary. Where we might choose to slightly differ with him is that if it is OK to use an e-collar for dogs that have caused a problem, why does he not say it is OK to use an e-collar for Livestock Avoidance Training to PREVENT a problem and save animals from suffering. Practically every untrained dog is a potential sheep worrier.

Today, I remember my Uncle Bob — a D-Day veteran who served with Bomber Command as a rear gunner aboard Lancasters during World War II.
He lived to be over 100, and I will always treasure the moments he stood to read the Ode.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.

Here’s a YouTube video I did 14 years ago on an important topic in detection-dog work: scent contamination — how unwanted odours can affect a dog’s ability to accurately locate a target.

🔹 Key points in the video:
• What “contamination” means in a search environment
• How stray human scent or target residue can mislead a working dog
• Why clean handling and careful setup are critical for accurate alerts
• Simple ways trainers can reduce contamination during training

Even small mistakes in how a search area is prepared can unintentionally confuse dogs — which is why strong handling protocols matter.

👉 I’m thinking of sharing a short series of extracts from my book The Dog Trainer covering topics from my 40+ years of detection-dog work — including foundations, training structure, troubleshooting, and real-world case experiences.

Thank you for all your feedback and it looks like it’s down to three options.

🐕 The Future of E-Collars — We Have 3 Choices 👇

1️⃣ Do Nothing → Total Ban 🚫

If we sit back and do nothing, force free groups and the RSPCA opposed to e-collars will continue pushing for a nationwide ban to all levels of government.

➡️ If that happens:
• ❌ No one can legally use them
• ❌ Professional trainers lose an important tool
• ❌ Fewer solutions for serious behaviour issues

⚠️ Result: E-collars gone completely.

2️⃣ Self-Regulation Through a NDTA ✅ (Best Option)

A National Dog Trainer Association takes responsibility for:
✔️ Certifying trainers
✔️ Educating owners
✔️ Teaching humane & responsible use
✔️ Setting professional standards

➡️ This means:
• ✅ Certified professionals can keep using e-collars
• ✅ Owners still have safe access to effective help
• ✅ Dogs with serious issues keep an important training option

⭐ Result:
Professional rights protected + dog welfare supported.

✅ This is the path that works for everyone — trainers, owners & dogs.

3️⃣ Government Regulation 🏛️💸

If government takes full control:
• 💰 New licence fees
• 📄 More red tape
• 📉 Stricter rules over time
• ⚠️ Possible future removal of access

⚠️ Result:
Higher costs, more restrictions, and long-term loss of trainer rights.

✅ The Best Future for Dogs & Trainers

Self-regulation through a NDTA keeps e-collars available, humane, and responsibly used — without losing our rights or burying trainers in extra fees.

👉 Education + Certification = Safe, effective outcomes 🐾
