My boy Luke is also reactive and to give physical corrections to a dog like this just stimulates their arousal to a higher degree, making matters worse.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589104200839188087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-67509813304337018072010-11-15T10:53:48.107-08:002010-11-15T10:53:48.107-08:00I have a pit mix that I was taking to obedience cl...I have a pit mix that I was taking to obedience classes that were using the choke collar methods that you mentioned. I could not understand why this was not working for my dog. I never was able to establish his attention to me and he was reactive. I thought long about this method & left the class. He always has been more responsive to a lighter demeanor. I am now using positive/clicker training & I get his attention right away. I really wish there were more trainers out there who used this method.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-83068584942958656392010-11-15T09:24:55.930-08:002010-11-15T09:24:55.930-08:00Hi Sherry.

I loved your post and I was wondering if you would give me permission to translate it to portuguese so I can post it in my blog www.caosciencia.blogspot.com with obviously proper links and credits. Please let me know. And thank you for this, I too did the "crossover" and I am very aware of this anger feeling you talked about. I used to become so upset when yanking and punishing dogs that I started crying out of pure anger when I was not able to punish effectively and it is soooo hard to do it as well!Claudia Estanislauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05207068923019626459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-46011574446300739812010-11-14T19:38:24.022-08:002010-11-14T19:38:24.022-08:00I found this article thought-provoking.

What you saw was "anger", not dog training. If you see a good balanced trainer correcting a dog, he or she is simply doing something to quickly interrupt the dog's behavior, then will immediately redirect it to something for which it can be positively reinforced in some way. It is a shame that so many dog owners, and dog trainers, are unfair to their dogs and treat them harshly. Any type of collar can be mis-used if in the hands of someone not committed to be kind to the dog. It is not the equipment, such as a choke collar, it is the handler, that determines whether the training session is, in the dog's mind, positive or negative.Melanie Schlaginhaufenhttp://www.knowingdogs.comnoreply@blogger.com
