Yet again a balanced trainer has tried to set me a ridiculous challenge (a set up)
Just like this one i had from a local trainer beginning of the year.

"I currently have a particular twitchy dog with me at the moment. I am more than happy for any force free/ positive only trainer to pop along and take him out of my van and walk him through town with lots of other dogs around show me exactly how you'd work him completely force free. No telling him no ect no spacial pressure... it has to be 100% free of any force whatsoever"

Let’s be clear:
That’s not a challenge — it’s a setup.
No ethical trainer, regardless of method, should be throwing a stressed or reactive dog into a situation they’re clearly not ready to handle.

As a force-free trainer, I work with dogs, not against them. I don’t flood them, push them past their thresholds, or risk their welfare to prove a point.
I use science-based methods that build trust, resilience, and long-term behavioural change — and that starts with meeting the dog where they are.

Force-free doesn’t mean passive or permissive. It means strategic, ethical, and kind. It means using smart training instead of shortcuts.

In force-free training, we use thoughtful management, desensitisation, counter-conditioning, and reinforcement-based strategies to build behavioural change gradually. That’s not weakness — that’s ethical, evidence-based practice.

Setting a dog up to fail isnt proof of anything except poor judgement.
