Did you see anything?

☠️🚨☠️🚨 ALERT - TRIGGER WARNING RE POISONED COCKATOOS (Gymea, Sydney). Arthur & Co. Pet Detectives have been working behind the scenes on this very disturbing case and we are now appealing publicly for ANY information on the person/s responsible for a series of illegal Cockatoo poisonings that occurred in September and December 2024 in the GYMEA area of Sydney. The specific area of interest is the Garbala Rd and Karda Pl area of Gymea.

☠️The substance used is METHOMYL - a highly toxic agricultural insecticide which, when ingested, causes birds to become paralysed and drop from the sky, ultimately affecting their capacity to breathe and move, resulting in a painful death by drowning in their own fluids.

ℹ️ Anonymous information is welcome and discretion is assured. Call or SMS 0406 834 001 or anonymous information can be submitted to: https://arthurpet.com/contact/anonymous-tips/

Couldn’t agree more 👏👏👏👏

I stand by this statement. There is no place for shock or prong collars in dog training. The science shows they have risks for dogs' welfare, and the reward-based trainers show that you simply don't need to use aversive methods. And dominance training has been out-dated for some time. So stick to reward-based methods, which work, and don't have the risks of aversives. Often, this means using treats as positive reinforcement.

If you want to know more about the science on this, take a look at my book Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog, which is available from all good bookstores, or have a browse of my website, where I've written about many of the studies.
