There Are Only Two "Types" Of Training—Effective And Ineffective

Off Leash And Unfiltered

It seems like every 5 minutes there is some new training fad sweeping the country. Here's the thing.. We've known the principles of behavior for a very long time now, and they haven't changed. Do you really think there is some wildly effective new discovery that defies these laws?

Every other day I see another "technique" or "program" promising unprecedented results. They give them catchy names or acronyms, and you ALWAYS have to pay money for them, but do they actually work??

People also tend to confuse *techniques* with methods. A good example of this is the clicker. You can do the exact same training without a clicker. The clicker itself is not the most important part of the method. I could use a whistle instead of a clicker and call it whistle training..Confused? Good. Take a listen.
