This page summarizes K9-1's opinions on what causes problems in the dog training industry, along with a playlist of videos that highlight the rationale:
1. Operant Conditioning inaccurately measures the humaneness of dog training.
2. The Purely Positive / Force-Free marketing strategy is fraudulent and unethical.
3. Dog training tool bans affect the ability of trainers to use the most effective and humane options for many dogs.
4. Steven Lindsay's original LIMA guidelines have been misrepresented by major professional dog training organizations.
5. Competitive sport dog training experience should not be considered a sole qualifier for professional dog trainers.
6. Experience handling working dogs should not be considered a sole qualifier for professional dog trainers.
7. The industry is flooded with unregulated and false claims by the veterinary behaviorist community.
8. There is a general lack of unbiased educational resources geared toward supporting highly qualified professional dog trainers to assist the vulnerable pet-owning public.
9. A lack of regulations geared toward highly qualified professionals equates to a lack of accountability for underqualified and unethical dog training professionals.
The playlist below is best watched in order to understand the full scope of problems in the dog training industry.
