Agression:<\/strong> If we just ignore dogs that bite people they will not bite people. If we ignore dogs that attack other dogs, they will stop attacking other dogs. Huh?<\/p>\n Destruction:<\/strong> If you just ignore dogs that dig holes, chew up couches, shoes, gnaw and wooden furniture legs or used underwear the behavior will go away. Huh?<\/p>\n Tugging on leash:<\/strong> If we just stop and “stand like a tree” every time the dog pulls, it will eventually learn that it can only go forward if it doesn’t tug. Sorry, that’s a loser too. Dogs have been used for hundreds of years as draught animals. They don’t mind pulling. To actually control this behavior by cutting off “reinforcement” takes forever and does not inhibit the dog’s tendency to pull like crazy to get to something interesting. Meaning it’s not a solution, it’s a perpetual struggle.<\/p>\n The reason the common sense approach is immediately attacked is because of a decades-old fraud. Modern trainers and behaviorists use the word “punishment” as a synonym for “abuse.” That is a very convenient marketing ploy. If the general public thinks that punishing a dog for jumping is some form of abuse, they won’t do it \u2013 or hire anyone else to do it. Instead they will go to a “nice” trainer who uses positive solutions \u2013 that are as functional as the ones I listed above. What a great scam. Force people to accept lower standards. Not standards that any rational person would accept, but standards that ineffective methods generate. That way the “modern” trainer has cut the competition off at the knees without ever proving that what they do is worth the money. In India during the British occupation the ammunition of British rifles was rumored (by those who opposed the British) to have been water proofed with pig fat. To see how punishment works as described by Frank and to see what the boogey man really looks like, watch this video. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IGS1Kmiz66k<\/a> Watch the dog’s tail, carefully.

<\/a>That prevented Hindus from using the ammunition. The “punishment=abuse” mantra is the same kind of ploy. (In fact the cartridges weren’t actually greased with pig fat, but once the insinuation was spread, no amount of reasoning could rectify the problem. For more information, watch Tyrone Power in “King of the Kyber Rifles” if it comes on Turner Classic Movies.)<\/p>\n
