A dog is not a computer. One cannot push “Enter”, thinking the command is saved. Instead, we should use the power of the ever-evolving world of behavioral science to change not only how we teach our dogs, but also how we understand and communicate with them, building a strong bond based on mutual trust, respect and love instead of pain, fear and intimidation.

Unfortunately many in the traditional dog training world remain unaware or unwilling to move towards the scientific studies of dog training, and there are still inaccurate and damaging myths about dog training.

Finding a good dog trainer is difficult, as old school dominance and punishment-based trainers continue to use outdated and dangerous methods and equipment. But also the soft trainers harm the human-dog-relationship by not setting important boundaries.
