This week we discuss: Training with Force

Force sounds like a scary word and is something that tends not to be talked about in the reward-based method world.

Here’s the thing, you can absolutely be using force even if you are using food or toys as a reward. Of course this isn’t the intention and it can be done accidentally.

In our world, we think about force in a different way. Force doesn’t need to look forceful.

Join us for this week’s episode where we dive into this topic and discuss what we see as training with force and the practical solutions to move away from it.
