This playlist I mostly keep hidden because of how easily it can be misunderstood if not played in order, especially when it comes to using aversive training tools. I do not like the videos to randomly pop up on internet search out of order. The quality of my presentations are not always the best and I am not the greatest speaker, but I consider myself a person of integrity, humane, and very ethical. Besides many nearly 30 years in the “trenches” as a dog training student and then professional dog trainer, I also teach animal training at an accredited vocational school, so I am not in the habit of teaching information that is not broadly accepted as true from an academic perspective. The playlist barely scratches the surface of everything a professional dog trainer should know at an entry-level (e.g. husbandry, behavior plans, instructing clients, etc..). But, I choose what I think is most important to START with, and then it becomes easier to find your own direction and recognize bias. The playlist is explained in terms of classical and operant conditioning and is based on the teachings of Steven Lindsay. Specifically, guidelines that support cynopraxis and follow HIS original guidelines of LIMA and not any cherry-picked version that fits a specific agenda. To truly be a LIMA (Least Intrusive and Minimally Aversive) based dog trainer and not just an MA (Minimally Aversive) trainer, you must have a certain level of competence to understand when the level of intrusiveness to the dog and owner’s relationship and overall quality of life is being impeded upon by focusing on just being MInimally Aversive. LI and MA keep each other in check. Without these checks it is possible to be overly aversive to a dog when not necessary or to be so non-aversive that a dog ends up managed to the point that it barely spends any quality time with its owners or fails altogether at living a safe life, free from endangering others or itself. It takes more than an entry-level playlist to master being “LIMA”, but without having a correct definition or entry-level instruction to use training tools in a way designed with LIMA in mind, a forward-looking dog trainer has no starting point. Steven Lindsay states in his teaching that it is not reasonable to have broad success as a dog trainer without knowledge of when and how to apply aversives and it has become my opinion throughout the years that THAT is one of the main reasons an otherwise experienced and knowledgeable dog owner, may need to enroll the help of a professional. To help make those careful decisions individually, with the overall goal of a better quality of life. There are also videos that explain in much more depth the real research and usefulness of understanding canine behavior, especially “dominance” from an ethological point of view and not just what an organization or person on TV tells you what it is. It is much better to know where the source material is, and to form your own opinion about its usefulness as a dog trainer. In this way, at least you are not blindly following position statements. Form your own position instead. I consider myself a bit of a historian on the evolution of dog training over the last century. Therefore, I want to state to keep an open mind to all NEW information. Many of our beliefs as dog trainers are based on “old school” examples from 30 years ago that certainly are still floating around, and efforts to counter the unnecessary brutality from that time period. The biggest leaps and bounds in the industry have just started to become more mainstream. As a professional, I believe it is my and our responsibility to always investigate thoroughly before making a decision about what best moves the field forward. Do not be bullied by others' or organizations' opinions.
