Toxic Positivity

This week, Jess and Scott discuss toxic positivity in the dog training world. While positive reinforcement training offers many benefits, the dog training public frequently voices concerns over effectiveness of this methodology as well as the judgement that comes from members of the purely positive camp. What is toxic positivity as it relates to dog training? Why do some dogs and owners seem to respond better to balanced training? Where can owners look for support if they feel their training has become toxic?   To learn more about Viagen Pets, click here: https://www.viagenpets.com   For more information about Scott and Jess and their strategies or to book an online consult for behavioral issues, please check out: https://caninehealing.com   To work with Jess virtually to troubleshoot performance sport issues, click: http://www.k9healing.com/ct   To view The Quirky Dog’s website and a full catalog of episodes, visit: https://www.thequirkydog.com   To work with Scott and Jess in person within their service area (Portland, ME to Boston, MA to Manchester, NH), email them at [email protected]   Have you ever wondered why your dog behaves a certain way?
