Show Notes

Episode 27 – The Risks and Downfalls of Punishment Based Dog Training

In this episode, Dr Katrin talks about punishment from a learning theory point of view, how and where it fits into B.F. Skinner's 4 quadrants of operant conditioning, and why it is extremely risky and welfare-negative to use punishment-based training and methods.

Dr Katrin gives her top 10 reasons (although there are many more) why punishment-based training it NOT the way we want to go when working with our animals and why it is not sustainable or what we should be doing from a quality of life and welfare point of view.

Dr Katrin also talks about what to look out for when choosing or recommending a trainer, because we definitely DO NOT want to be using or recommending aversive based trainers, shock trainers or "Balanced Trainers".
