Our intention is not to point the finger at individual trainers, but rather to educate dog owners to recognise that, these practices are experienced by dogs as violence and force.
Please never allow a trainer to hit, intimidate, lead-jerk or choke your dog, or use any similar methods!! You can find information on force-free dog training here.
