So, I decided to do a test today.
I get all these dog training social media feeds as a result of the app algorithms, many by activists (not sure what else to call them) promoting their philosophies. It really doesn’t matter what they said, that isn’t the point here.
I just wanted to poke a handful of them and see the reaction. It wasn’t even all that much of a poke.
Angry. That was the initial response on the first one.
Lesson?
You aren’t going to be able to change these people. They are not open to change. They are “sold” into their ways and want everyone else to know it. And shame on you if you think otherwise.
It reminded me of The Omega Man with Charlton Heston. There wasn’t any amount of persuasion that was going to work with Jonathan Matthias. He was offended and he was going to bring it all down.
Test over. You can attempt this yourself, but I predict the same results. There are good ways and bad ways to train dogs. Be careful who you listen to.
Plan accordingly.
