We received a Merry Christmas and an update from one of the Positive Pup Academy family members today. Jason and Kimchi have been in Korea for a couple months now ( Yes a very Aussie Blue Cattle dog now calls Korea home) and Kimchi got to experience a white Christmas. I am so proud of these two. They are an amazing team. π₯°

THE PERILS OF PUNISHMENT
Itβs easy to stop or suppress a behaviour by using punishment, force or pain and say that it really works, so why even bother to do it differently?
Punishment based methods may well βfixβ the behaviour quickly, are far easier, require far less effort, less knowledge, less education, or even just be based on traditional belief, but these methods come at a great cost - destroying trust, creating insecurity, fear, anxiety, provoking aggression, causing dogs to shut down or feel helpless and prevent dogs from learning an alternative, more acceptable behaviour.
There is so much modern, scientific evidence to support force free, positive reinforcement methods as being the most effective and successful way to modify behaviour.
There is nothing admirable, ethical or intelligent in physically or emotionally forcing any sentient being to comply.
Take the time and make a commitment to understand and learn about positive, force free, science-based methods.
