As I walked through the aisles of Home Depot recently, I witnessed a dog owner 'correcting' his anxious dog. The realization struck me that so many well-intentioned folks are led astray on how to manage and address their dog's fear and aggression.
This episode peels back the layers of commonly accepted, but misguided, dog training methods that dominate online forums and the advice from many dog trainers.
With each pop of the prong collar, it's clear we need to have an urgent discussion about why these punitive measures do more harm than good - and are even dangerous when done in venues like Home Depot.
