Publisher's Synopsis
Tired of dog training that just doesn't work in the real world?
Forget the sugar-coated methods and endless bribery with treats. Real World Dog Training is here to challenge nearly everything the "positive" trainers have told you.For too long, modern dog training has been hijacked by the utopian fantasy that positive reinforcement alone has the answers. Unfortunately, this damaging ideology worsens by the day. But the real world doesn't work that way.In this unapologetically honest exposé, Tully Williams reveals the truth about why "positive" training so often fails, and why correction succeeds-often more quickly, easily and far more effectively-all while achieving superior welfare outcomes.Grounded in real science and decades of extensive experience, this book cuts through the misconceptions, myths and even outright lies plaguing contemporary animal behaviour and psychology.It's time to stop feeling guilty about using correction, and embrace the responsible and truly scientific approach that actually works in the real world.
