Embracing the Dog Training Revolution: Transforming Methods and Mindsets

"Survey studies have shown an association between the use of aversive training methods and long-term behavior problems."

In a world where traditional dog training methods have long prevailed, a new wave of revolution is sweeping through, spearheaded by individuals like me – the "radical" force free dog trainer. Yes, you heard that right. Kindness, science, and a heartfelt approach are the key pieces of this evolution in force free dog training.

Imagine a world where fulfilling a dog's needs, modifying environments for success, and rewarding with treats are considered radical acts. Well, that's the world I'm living in. I step into homes and lives, that can appear "unpredictable" to the untrained eye, to decipher the language of canines, acting as their voice and often delving into the support of an entire family. The dogs are "speaking" (via body language, vocalizations and behaviors), to those who know how to listen.

Revolutionizing Training Approach

Using a blend of experience, resources, positive reinforcement training and real-time data, I bring tailor-made solutions to your doorstep, right where they matter the most. It's not just about "obedience" but about understanding, empathy, and creating a harmonious relationship between families and their beloved pets. Together, we are embarking on a journey of enlightenment.

Trading in punitive training collars for treats, we are the front line of a force-free alliance. Gone are the days of dominating our furry companions; the new era embraces collaboration and mutual respect. It’s not about becoming famous ourselves; it's about making the revolution against dog cruelty famous, about going viral in the realm of love and compassion.

A Vision for a Kinder Future

In my dreams, I envision a nation where shock and prong collars are outlawed, mirroring the progressive stance taken by many European countries. I advocate for a hands-off training method, giving dogs the grace and space they deserve, acknowledging them as individuals- doing the best they can with what they have, much like ourselves.

I am not anthropomorphizing (humanizing) here, I am empathizing.

Outdated ideologies and abusive tools have no place in the modern world of dog training. Training is no excuse for animal abuse. No matter the size or breed. Let’s join forces in the dog training revolution – let's be radically kind and startle the world with our compassion.

Embracing Change and Progress

Imagine a world where misbehavior is understood as a cry for help, a call for attention to unmet needs. It's time we shift our mindset, adapting to a more humane and enlightened approach to training. As we evolve, so do our companions, forging stronger bonds built on trust and understanding.

Let’s challenge the norms, break free from the shackles of outdated practices, and embrace a future where every wagging tail is a testimony to our kindness. Together, we can make a difference, one paw at a time.
