Join me for a live discussion on why banning dog training tools is bad for all dogs. This topic will cover the use of tools such as ecollars, prong ciollars, slip leads, head halters, no-pull harnesses and more. I will discuss my issue with Positive ONLY training, why I LOVE rewards based training, the recent vlog war with Zak George and ways that we can do what is best for all dogs.
This is a very current and important topic.

Here's some references that will backup dog training that is fair to dogs such as using corrections to learn. This science contradicts the science that the positive ONLY cult espouses.
