Why do trainers say “no method works for all dogs” if all dogs are governed (like all other organisms) by the laws of learning? Is positive reinforcement a method, or a principle? What about punishment? Is there a “method” that always works?

When a research paper regarding dog training is published feelings always abound in the community. Using research to make informed decisions in the field of dog training and behavior is not always easy. Lisa Gunter PhD, CBCC-KA is an assistant professor at Coastal Carolina University where she directs the Laboratory for Animal Behavior and Welfare. She’s a dog trainer researcher extraordinaire whose work centers on the welfare and behavior of companion animals with a special focus on our interactions with them. Researchers with strong training and behavior backgrounds are a rare breed and I was lucky enough to sit down with her to discuss the role of research in the dog training profession.

In response to the “trainer wars” between the balanced and force-free communities Sarah and past podcast guest (and friend) Lisa Mullinax sit down to talk about the place where ethics meet efficacy. Lisa and Sarah do not claim a label as trainers (neither balanced nor force-free), and have both undergone an evolution in the behavior field that has helped them to arrive at a place free of dogma and full of compassion.

Know the opinions expressed here are vulnerable and honest, and there can’t be enough time for all nuance to be present in all conversations. Neither Sarah nor Lisa represent anything other than themselves in their thoughts expressed herein.
