How to Counter Misinformation about Dog Training and Cat Behaviour with Truth Sandwiches

This time we talk about countering misinformation about canine and cats with real truth sandwiches. We run by way of some myths about doggy training and cat behaviour, communicate about why they are erroneous, and determine out some truth sandwiches to aid appropriate the misinformation. 

We take into consideration: 

• why it’s incorrect to choose a dominance strategy to canine teaching
• why we ought to use favourable reinforcement somewhat than punishment in pet dog instruction
• the myth that pet dogs ought to just match into our life
• and why cats need to scratch.

We also chat about the (then) forthcoming Administration Month at the Academy for Puppy Trainers, which is all about celebrating how you can in some cases use management alternatively of instruction to remedy dog conduct issues. As element of Companion Animal Psychology’s tenth anniversary celebrations, you can come to Studying Cats and Canine: A Dialogue with Lili Chin, Sassafras Lowrey, and Zazie Todd. The a few authors will be studying from their books (Doggie Language, Chew This Journal, and Purr: The Science of Generating Your Cat Content) and in conversation with Kristi Benson. 

Furthermore, in our standard slot at the close of the discussion, Kristi and I talk about the guides we’re looking through suitable now.
