Hello! Thanks a lot for this useful video. By the way, I hear lots of people keep on talking about Xobodog Training (search on google), but I’m not sure if it is really good. Have you ever tried this dog training program called Xobodog Training? I have heard many great things about it.
Not necessarily. You seem caught up in definition and terminology. If drive drive diminishes its not necessarily due to tool but often application and method.
I got a 4 year old rescue dog that was extremely aggresive to other dogs and it nearly killed a small terrier and would attack any dog without a thought. Someone lent me an electric collar and in one session it cured the dog, instantly. Before that I was considering having the rescue dog put to sleep. Now 2yrs on, he is a fantastic character, sociable and friendly and never shows aggression. For me the electric collar saved that dogs life..
and isn’t body blocking positive punishment, and the removal of it negative reinforcement? so you’re saying we can’t use that on puppies?
While I understand the mechanics seem “kinder”, twisting the head on the spinal column is how I would break somethings neck. I don’t quite understand how we call it kinder or positive reinforcement in that case. Now marking and clicking in conjunction I do understand. I also understand that if you associate a low level shock as a marker, or as an attention prompt, it actually can be positive reinforcement because it increases drive to focus as we add it. isn’t it silly to call a duck a cow
I wondered, how is the gentle leader is positive reinforcement tool. For example the definition of positive punishment: adding something to remove drive, or neg. reinforcement: removing stimuli to increase drive. By using the gentle leader, I am twisting the head on the spinal column when it pulls to discourage pulling. The twisting (or power steering if you will) is relieved when leash pulling stops. I understand reinforcing positively with treats, but the G.L. adds to decrease drive.
Jynx: Glad you use your prong collar right. I have seen owners who yank their dog with this collar on and the dog cries out in pain. It was very upsetting to see. I think the problem with the negative collars is that the people who use them have no idea when and how to use them.
very informative, thanks for sharing!
One of my weims walks with the prong collar. I do not use it in any other training time/on the other dogs. If I accidentally brush the prong collar when cleaning and he hears it rattle, he comes tearing into the room, tail wagging and super excited. The prong collar, to him, has only ever meant a gentle correction and a happy, enjoyable time at the park.
Granted, I would never condone using a choke chain or electric collar. But I don’t think the prong collar is a flat negative training tool.
Good to see the new vids keep up the good work.
wise words.
Great Video, I think every dog owner and person getting a dog or puppy should watch this!
I thought a pinch collar was meant to replicate the ‘scruffing’ a mother dog would do with her puppies? Not a sharp bite, but enough for a correction?
yay 3rd coment and 100th veiw
nice video, however, I noticed that on your gentle leader picture, it was a comfort guide harness. Not too big of a deal. =)
