Is Everything That Feels Bad Actually Bad? A FB Fight And An Infantile Philosophy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The narrative on the internet, and pretty much everywhere, is that you should never make your dog uncomfortable. If you glance at FB you'll find endless arguments and accusations. The common theme is that aversives are never necessary. Pain, fear, discomfort are all bad and trainers that incorporate any of that into their training are also bad.
Those trainers are also made to sound as though that's all they use. This has put those trainers in a position where many of them are publicly caving to the idea that punishment is bad and softening their language or "sugar coating" things in order to defend themselves from the on-slot of attacks.
So what is the truth? Is fear and pain bad? Is it always bad? Is punishment bad? Punishment, by definition, is anything that reduces a behavior. So by definition even offering food or petting could be a punishment if the dog tried to avoid it by modifying their behavior. What is best for the dogs? What actually saves dogs' lives and keeps them in their homes?
If you've ever wondered what the truth is, it's your lucky day, because that's exactly what I do. So here is a summary of my most recent FB argument after a fairly popular UK trainer caved to the mob.
