A recent paper claims to show a link between punishment (or what they love to call “punishment based training”) and increased aggression in dogs.
This paper is by no means a study!
Here’s why it falls short of credible science: it’s a compilation of previously published SURVEYS and REPORTS, based on owner self-reports and behavior clinic assessments.
The paper once again relies entirely on other people’s data, without any actual observations or controlled experiments.
The findings are based on owner recollections, which are prone to bias and inaccuracies, and behavior clinic samples that *only represent dogs with pre-existing issues.
The paper uses cross-sectional surveys and retrospective case reviews, which cannot establish cause and effect!!!
Are aggressive dogs more likely to receive punishment, or does punishment cause aggression? This paper does not provide the answer!!!
Bottom line is this is not a scientific study. It’s a narrative filled with SPECULATIVE associations and BIASED data. Before you take its claims at face value, consider the glaring methodological flaws.
