What if The Biggest Lie in Dog Training Today Isn't That Force-Free Training Doesn't Work...

This video doesn’t show dogs recalling away from empty spaces. It’s a 5-month-old Terrier leaving another dog in the midst of play. A rescue Bulldog-mix abandoning an out-of-sight-hunt. A Border Collie recalling from 200 feet away while nose-to-nose with temptation. No stern, loud voice, no fear, no intimidation, no tools applied. Just a relationship built through games, choice, and reinforcement that makes coming back the best decision. People will tell you game-based training doesn’t hold up in the real world. The dogs here share a different version of the truth. The goal was never to create a ‘robotic dog’ that obeys because they have to. The goal is always to build a relationship that results in a dog choosing you because they want to. Training this way is rehearsing daily KINDNESS that changes who you are as a person. Creating a relationship of trust. And trust goes further than control ever will. - - - - - - - Dogs That is brought to you by Susan Garrett and the Say Yes Dog Training Team.
