Does your dog display disruptive or often unwanted behaviours and sometimes makes you feel a bit embarrassed?

Have you got a 2nd or 3rd dog and they are struggling to get along with each other?

I can’t believe the tv show is still going.

Channel 4’s Dogs Behaviour Badly with Graeme Hall

In the opening driving shots the self proclaimed ‘dog father’ insists that people think he is a maverick. A maverick is someone who is unorthodox in their field - unorthodox meaning untraditional. To the contrary,Graeme Hall is actually quite the opposite of a maverick - instead approaching behaviour science from an incredibly traditional place: pre science-based training and from a time when we didn't have the ability to read dogs or the compassion to give them choices.

Hall’s wisdom is based on the idea that dogs, like wolves, are pack animals and that they have a dominance hierarchy structure, much like wolves except that people are in that structure as well. As such Hall continually explains problems by suggested the owner needs to be Top Dog. David Mech’s book, The Wolf: Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species was the book, in the 80s, that started this. In the 90s thankfully he realised he made a mistake. As technology and advancements in our own ideas allowed us to study dogs more scientifically Mech himself changed his mind. He corrected these ideas in 1999 in his paper Alpha Status, Dominance, and Division of Labor in Wolf Packs. We moved on from this and changed our ideas - realising that dogs are cooperative animals who desire for peace with the humans who they depend upon,

And it isn't just the wisdom that is a step back in time. Poor ignorant wisdom from the 80’s is actually something I can forgive - the thing that I found most disturbing about Dog’s Behaving Badly was the methods. The methods I cannot forgive.

OK - so punishment works. It is one of those things that as trainers who use Least Intrusive minimally aversive methods, don't rush out to tell people. But it does. Often checking and shouting at dogs actually suppresses behaviour far quicker that it would take us to train it out. Ill be honest, Addy the poodle who, on the show, was fearful towards the male in the house - his behaviour would have taken a few weeks at the least, for me to train out. Hall did it in 40 minutes - a quick ‘fix’ indeed. However, what he did in 40 minutes was to identify an animal as scared and then frighten it into a state of learnt helplessness. Then bully the dog for looking at the man he was frightened of. And give the man the confidence to shout at the dog - and his girlfriend - for trying to reassure the dog, for trying to warn the man. If the top dog meme was correct then Addy will be killing the boyfriend in his sleep tonight, more than likely though the biting will return at an ill timed gathering or party and someone other than the boyfriend will suffer the damage from a dog who has been punished out of warning; a dog with no stable relationships from which to seek comfort.

And that got me thinking: surely what he is doing is illegal? I mean it wasn't in Barbara Woodhouse’s day - but surely it is now? To my knowledge the Animal Welfare Act 2006 Section 4(1) under prevention of harm states unnecessary suffering is when a person (in this case Hall) causes an animal to suffer - knowingly or having reasonably to have known. You only have to look at the conformation of a Great Dane to know that continued short, sharp yanks to his head via a head collar will be putting pressure on his thyroid gland and also causing tissue damage. This is, without a doubt, suffering and and harm surely? And surely as one of the “UK’s top dog experts” he has reasonably to have known this would cause this damage. And that isn't even considering the clear psychological welfare issues.

Really - thats the thing about this show that has people (myself included) shouting at the TV and up in arms once again. Its not a funny ‘love to hate him’ type affair with irritating celebrities living and arguing about cleaning in the big brother house. This show has wide implications. It has taken a decade of careful scientific studies and newspapers covering these studies to finally put the likes of confusing pseudo science to bed. When we did Super Dog to rescue Dog it felt exciting to finally be TV training using methods that don't upset the dog - and have channel 4 interested and invested in taking the time. With our knowledge of where dogs stands cognitively and emotionally (yes, they are actually a bit like us - see Gregory Berns FMRI scans and his other studies about love and the canine brain) people are finally realising that training - is just teaching. And that it is about trust and enjoyment and engagement. What Hall is doing is muddying those waters for owners - suggesting dogs are like us when it comes to needing consequence but not like us when it comes to feelings of trust or love. And he fails to recognise that dogs don't have a moral compass. His TED video is frustratingly misquoting science with a poor understanding of basic learning theory. Annoyingly this will not put owners off listening to this fool whose been given a platform. I'm sure we have months of him explaining how it's still ok to bully and shout and check dogs on a lead because it will produce a quick fix. It will cause a huge spike in ignorance-based cruelty and reduce the welfare of many, many dogs in this country. What is most confusing is that the researchers for this show and the Series Producers too decided this was OK - to ignore the science. Perhaps they were brainwashed into believing it was just another point of view or that people would love to hate it and it would be popular via controversy. What they failed to recognise was that this sort of high profile cruelty won’t just effect the poor, poor dogs who have been physically hurt on TV and who have also had their stability, trusted relationships and comfort pulled out from under the, - but this will also have a knock on effect to dog owners nationwide. Winter is coming.

Make sure you’re not ignorant like Greame https://caninescience.online

Wanting a behaviour from our dogs to stop is common. Sadly, there are so many 'trainers' who appear on television or have massive social media followings who will advocate using devices and methods that 'will stop it fast'. Let's be honest, as humans we are often results driven, so I can see why these would appeal to people who don't know why these things should not be recommended and used. The reality is that they can make the situation so much worse.

Suppressing a behaviour doesn't mean that the reasons that behaviour happened aren't still there, just that the dog can't do what they feel they need to in that situation. That can lead to increased frustration, stress, fear - depending on what the driver for that behaviour is. Think of it like a pressure cooker, adding more and more pressure, with no way to reduce that pressure. Eventually there comes a point where the pressure is just too much and boom.

If a behaviour is something we can't live with, there are things we can do without suppressing that behaviour. Manage the situation so that the dog is not in a position to practice that behaviour - for example baby gates to stop them jumping up at arriving guests or finding quiet areas to walk if your dog is uncomfortable with other dogs close up. If there is something you would prefer them to do in that situation keep using the management and then, using kind and ethical methods, teach them what you would like them to do instead. If the behaviour is not something that we can simply train an alternative for - a dog who reacts to other dogs around for example - find a behaviour consultant who uses modern and kind methods to help the dog no longer feel the need to use that behaviour.

Behaviour suppression is never the answer.

(I'm always happy to talk to people about potentially working with them and their dogs. I'm based in Sussex in the UK but can work anywhere remotely, so get in touch if you feel you need help.)

Lucky draw for leaving the review in April.

It was an extremely happy day for Donna Lambert, for anyone who has followed the story 2 of her dogs being stolen/missing 11 months ago. After 6 weeks she got Reggie back as he was found in Kent. Today 11 months on Ruby is finally home, she was handed into a vet in Doncaster. The Dog lost team relayed her home today. ❤️

I love watching dogs play, this puppy is learning how to play nicely with a calm well behaved dog. If you interested in our puppy consultation pleased email us at ravendaletrainingandbehaviour@gmail.com

Our UK sniffer dogs tracking class have been trying some different tracks today, a lot harder but they are doing so well. If your interested in any classes message us at ravendaletrainingandbehaviour@gmail.com

When Raven was a puppy I took her swimming to make sure she could swim safely. Raven is a natural swimmer and loved it straight away.

Day 7 bridging skills Today we were teaching Raven to bow and then bridging the behaviour to try and get her to hold the bow longer. For the bridge rather than just using the marker word ‘yes’ I was bridging it with the word ‘yeeeeeeeeees’ to try and get her to hold the bow longer. This is still work in progress. If you want to join in then video your training session and pop it into the comments and I will give feedback.

Day 6 Today we were working on the spin again, I watched our video yesterday on markers to observe the behaviour between the marker work ‘yes’ and the treat reward. Yesterday between the marker word ‘yes’ and the treat reward Raven was sitting. Today I stopped the marker word so I cued the behaviour of spin and rewarded straight away, this stopped the sit between each reputation of the spin. Sometimes we need to look at what we are doing to cue, mark and reward the behaviour we want, so if I wanted a smooth spin then it would be better for us to drop the marker word for this exercise but if we’re not bothered about the sit between each cue then using a marker is fine If you want to join in then video your training session and pop it into the comments and I will give feedback.

Day 5 of working on our training skills We were working on our marker today. A marker is used to let the dog know that they have done the behaviour you asked for and that the reward is coming. You can use a word as a mark or a clicker, I personally use the word ‘yes’ Your see in the video when Raven completes the behaviour I asked which in this video is spin. Once she has completed the spin I use my marker word ‘yes’ she will sit down and wait for the treat, I am working with her to try and stop the sit but for now it was to show you how to use a marker. Most of these training exercises are new to Raven and we don’t practice before I film them. If you want to join in then video your training session and pop it into the comments and I will give feedback.
