#110 Dog Training with Will Bangura, M.S., CDBC, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, FFCP. Addressing Canine Aggression: A Closer Look at Positive Reinforcement and Controversial Training Methods
Can aggression in dogs truly be corrected by punishment alone? We're setting the record straight on this episode of our podcast, where the focus is firmly on aggressive behavior in our furry friends. We've gathered a wealth of stories from six pet owners who bravely reached out for assistance, each battling the aggressive behaviors of their dogs and, unfortunately, falling into the trap of aversive training methods such as electronic and prong collars.
We're not just here to tell stories, though. Expect to learn and understand the benefits of positive reinforcement as an alternative to managing aggressive behavior in dogs. Marching through the details of differential reinforcement, we guide you on how to condition your favorite canine to relate certain triggers with rewarding behaviors, rather than invoking fear or pain. And as we trudge along, we'll underline the absolute necessity for professional education and certifications within the dog training industry - a critical call for a more empathetic approach towards our canine companions.
Towards the end, we're not shying away from the controversy surrounding dog training methods and tools. There are advocates for aversive techniques, but we're standing our ground on the efficacy of counter-conditioning and desensitization. Remember, while punishment might temporarily stifle aggressive behavior, it doesn't get to the crux of the problem. So if you're a dog owner or trainer looking to understand and tackle aggression issues in dogs, this episode's got your name all over it. Strap in for a deep, educational discussion - it's time to change canine lives for good. Dog Training with Will Bangura, M.S., CDCB, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, FFCP.
