First, I must complement Grisha on her composure when comparing some of the more "Averse" types of training. I am not sure i could show such composure! I found it interesting as years ago I used some of these methods, never shock collars or prongs but choke collars. I liked that fact that some of the more popular averse trainers, like Cesar Milan are starting to look at and see that positive training and behavior modification are real and they work! Thanks for sharing this.

I think this would have helped me study for the CPDT test years ago! I like the explanations of all of the choices out there... for humans and dogs.

Thank you for having digged into these methods I saw at the beginning of my journey with my dogs. It's so painful to remember what canine education was and still is for some people. Happy to be part of a better plan now !

For a new dog parent it can be quite overwhelming to see all these different approches about dog training. This is a good overview and even though some years old, some of the aversive methods still exists. It's good to get some convincing arguments while the empowering way is not only the more friendly, but also more successful one.

I really enjoyed this webinar. I appreciated how Grisha acknowledged her biases (which many are also biases I share, to be fair) and presented a lot of information in a really neutral and easy to understand way. I hadn't considered the color of a dog's tongue to indicate oxygen levels, at least consciously, before and that was a nugget I want to tuck away to look back at later.
