Great post from Amy Thomson Dog Training.
On one of my training courses they showed a video of a human wearing a shock collar on their wrist, that human played the part of a dog who was shocked when they didn’t do what the other human wanted. Within just a few minutes the human playing the part of the dog said they couldn’t even function to think to be able to even try to guess what the other human wanted.
So in essence, by using these “tools” we’re actually hindering our dogs learning abilities.
The training and work I’ve done mean your dog gets the best possible positively reinforced handling I can give them to give your dog their best experience while in my care.
Wouldn’t you rather have a walker who understands the impact their handling has on your dog?
