We need to upgrade the tools we use to train our dogs and puppies.
Although we have been taught for the last 60 years that training your dog by any apparatus around their neck or nose is ok, perhaps we need to rethink how these tools have been failing them. Training humanely is the highest tribute we can pay to our dogs and will not only make training more effective but will keep many dogs out of shelters who have been labeled behaviorally challenged.
