I just don't get it. How can people cause pain to their dog and call it training? How can people cause pain to their dog at all? I have seen and heard of at least 6 cases of people training or trainers training with force/pain/punishment/coercion this week and it is making me sick. Anywhere from beating the dog with a shoe to stepping on the prong collar leash to make their dog stay down (this dog was supposedly "sent" to a trainer several years ago) to shocking a 4 month old puppy to get him to "obey" to a trainer yanking on a prong collar so hard the dog yelps and saying the dog is just startled. Wow has the world gone crazy? It makes me sick and breaks my heart. And on a happier note, I have had a number of new dogs and owners join lately. So happy for them as they have chosen the higher moral path to training their dog. They will be happy, their dog happy and trained. Their dog will stay in their home for life and be a valued member of their family. The pain and force trained? Not so good an outcome. :(
