Why are Negative Reinforcements Still Present? Are Avoidance and Distraction Realistic and Effective?

from Dog Training DisrUPted · host Billie Groom

In the last decade or more there has been huge changes and advancements in the dog world at large and within the behavior/training sector. Thanks to influential organizations such as The Fear Free Movement, the popularity of negative reinforcements has decreased dramatically.  Because Conditioning methods rely on reinforcements, this leaves positive reinforcements to carry the weight. Is this a realistic expectation? The industries insistence of only including methods which rely on reinforcements has lead to an increase in gadgets and legitimizing "techniques" such as Avoidance and Distraction or simply "Managing Your Dog's Anxiety".  Are these realistic and, when dog owners are not satisfied, is it fair to blame them?Thanks to Open Strum and Brian John Harwood for the music clips!Brian John Harwood On His Latest Single "Getaway" | Front Porch MusicOpen Strum | Facebook  For more info on UPWARD Dogology:https://www.upwarddogology.com/FB - https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=upward%20dogologyIG - https://www.instagram.com/upwarddogology/Twitter - https://twitter.com/UDogologyLinkedIn - Billie GroomMy TEDX Talk is live!  Beyond Dog Training: The Movement Toward Sentiencehttps://youtu.be/avUugazybwcFind all the episodes on Feedspot, where Dog Training DisrUPted is rated in the top 5 shows in the dog category in Canada:  https://blog.feedspot.com/canadian_dog_podcasts/To become a certified Canine CBT Psychotherapist, and for courses on related topics, please visit the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy. www.instituteofcaninepsychotherapy.comBecome a Certified Canine Behaviorist and Dog TrainerMy Linktree with all my media, presentations, shows, articlesBillie Groom - UPWARD Dogology | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeHere is the link to the recent article in Psychology Today Mag by Marc Bekoff on Canine CBTDog Training: Perception, Cognition, and Emotions | Psychology TodayBuy My Book!
