Hey Ding Ding! Negative Reinforcement In Dog Training And The Real World

October 29, 2016 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Hey Ding Ding! Negative Reinforcement In Dog Training And The Real World

I have seen trainers and some people  bash negative reinforcement and even get in to emotional fights with people about it. When I ask them if they even know what it is they say, “Well…ummm… its inhumane treatment of dogs.  This ignorance literally makes me want to throw up! It has to stop! People are being lied to about training and tools.

For some strange reason, they believe that the only thing in dog training thats ok is “positive reinforcement only”

You need to know the truth! This kind of thinking  is a complete lie.

What is the world coming to when you can be fed a load of crap like this and eat it up like candy?

Let me be clear here because I don’t want you to misunderstand what I’m saying.

All Unleashed Potential trainers firmly believe in using positive reinforcement in training BUT we also believe in balance and we are not afraid to tell the truth about dog training.  Negative reinforcement is NOT bad at all.

There is also a misconception that if you use negative reinforcement then you are not a positive trainer. This is also a crock of horse crap.

Watch this short video to see exactly how negative reinforcement  works, not only in dog training, but in the real world.

If you like this please share it to show the truth about what Negative Reinforcement is.
