I am very concerned by a video I saw on the internet this morning. This internet guru Jedi Master trainer was teaching the viewers a procedure that will ultimately cause the dog in question to have a breakdown.
I will not specify here what was happening and why it would result in damaging the dog. I don’t want to give bad people more ideas on harming dogs.
In general terms, putting dogs in impossible situations is cruel. It is also unnecessary. Imagine a human example: a prisoner is made to hit themselves with a hammer on a toe before being given a piece of food.
Furthermore, you can stand out as a trainer without resorting to unique, outrageous, and harmful practices. What the viewer sees is what is presented in front of the camera. What isn’t seen are the longer-term side effects of acute and chronic stress.
Animals can go completely haywire, both mentally and physically with such treatment, and develop a debilitating neurosis that will wreck the dog.
Stay away from strange and unusual methods.
Plan accordingly.
