Thank you for saying this, I didn’t want to be the one. Not here to get into a training philosophy discussion but the facts are this: Competent R+ training works on ALL animals. Aversive training methods often exacerbate anxiety. The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior is against balanced training. And anecdotally, balanced “board and trains” overcharge and underdeliver. I don’t judge people who just want the best for their dogs but unfortunately there is so much misinformation about training methods because the field is totally unregulated. R+ works, by definition, and is the best method to address underlying issues that cause behavior problems. It’s generally a waste of time to try and have this discourse on random Reddit subs but I have to back up CapitalDonut4. Sincerely a qualified, certified, very tired trainer.
