I feel ya! I saw some other videos of yours & I was impressed. I realize that some behaviors are easier taught with a reinforcement/punishment combo. I also know the collars are only on until the behavior is learned. The mixed emotions was just cause punishment was used on a fearful dog..different.

[fredhassen]

What in this video leads you to believe that punishment was used on the dog, and how familiar with our program are you?

[2marielouise]

mixed emotions about this... punishment, let alone positive punishment, is not effective for long-term successful behavior modification.

replacement behaviors are most effective. she was still really insecure when on that leash.

No-one wants to punish an already nervous dog. If its ok for humans than its ok for pets. Would you strap one of these things to your kids??? I know I wouldn't.

Is punishment the anwer?

[KrunchMonster1]

this dog looks so much more relaxed and happier at the end of this video. I can't see that "punishment" was used here and if it was you would not see the dog so relaxed and willing at the end.

good job!

There are so many views on Positive re. and Neg. Reinforcement and traditional v modern training methods sometimes dog sports ie. agility, jumping edurance can help build confidence for nervous dogs. Just focus on fun for your nervous dog can rebuild confidence. Thats just my oppinion.

This is the best explanation of the e-collar I have heard. The sad thing is, no one has yet allowed me to show them that it doesn't hurt...they'll accept the explanation and the whole "invisible leash" thing, but the world will end before they'll let the probes touch their skin. I don't 'shock' dogs and I'm not going to 'shock' you, for goodness' sake!

Dog trainers need to further they're education if they are going to be using psychology terms. Please read Conditional response psychology notes on a psychology website not a dog trainers. If your nose is itchy,scratch it. Scratching is reinforced, itchy is not punishment. If you have a headache take an aspirin, aspirin is reinforced. You learn through your own actions and are not forced to take an aspirin. This is aversive stimuli but as an annoyance not painful.

[PetNewsUSA]

Aversive does not mean pain. If you have a slight headache and I yell take an aspirin then you say no, and in return I push a button and say now! And your headache gets worse? Thats called positive punishment. Fred is using negative reinforcemt and is looked upon by science as the fastest way to learn in combination with positive reinforcement such as petting ,tug toy or treats. His system works. Its funny how dog trainers think they are like psychologist LOL

[PetNewsUSA]

I would also like to add that positive punishment and negative reinforcement are not the same thing otherwise there would be no need for separate definitions. Furthermore to "cathygo" yes it does work in the long run because if you are consistent it becomes classically conditioned, just like using positive reinforcement. there is no need to learn the behavior first. We all learn through operant conditioning (trial and error) the very exercise IS THE LEARNING PROCESS. Fred has a good system :)

[CathyGo]

Educating the owner about dog behavior is probably more productive long term than "fixing" one behavior by pushing a button. I know e collars don't hurt. I've stimmed myself with one. You used avoidance training to teach the dog the only "safe" place is right beside her owner. Looks amazing to those who don't understand dog training. It isn't fair to start stimming the dog until it has a clear idea of what you want.

please look up the definition of punishment or read the definition provided above.
