Should you Throw the Baby Out with the Bathwater? Controversy in Dog Training The Dog Trainers Connection

- Onderwijs
Controversy in dog training and infighting among dog trainers has been going on for many years - at least since the 1960's when Steve said "cookie pushers" were known as "foodies" and were ridiculed by the established "way" dog trainers. But should you throw the "baby out with the bathwater?" Should young trainers read the dog training book by Colonel Konrad Most that Steve was advised to read when he started out and training books by Carol Lea Benjamin? We think it's good for Old School and New School trainers to learn dog training history and be open to learning from others. Jeff feels that "drawing a line in the sand is causing the indsutry to be afraid to do what's right!" Bonnie talks about why she's glad she learned "back in the day" how to use what's now considered an aversive tool.
What do you think is a solution to all the discord among trainers?
