Do Words Matter: The Words Dog Trainers Use and Why - With Dr. Anamarie Johnson, PhD
Dog training and behavioral support play a key role in dog welfare. In the world of sheltering and rehoming, it can both help dogs develop new skills and better cope pre-adoption, and decrease the likelihood that a dog will be relinquished post-adoption.
In the current world of dog training, there are a range of training methods available to a pet owner. One commonly used delineation is between trainers who self-identify as reward-based (non-aversive methods) and those who identify as balanced (use some or all aversive methods). It can be incredibly challenging for pet owners to navigate the information presented to them, as a result, the words that are used to describe training methods are important. In this webinar, you’ll learn some tips to keep in mind when searching for a dog trainer.
