There Seems To Be 5 Main Myths Surrounding Dog Training And How To Control Your Dog:

MYTH #1 -- You need to use a choke collar to leash train your dog.

This is stupid. Choke collars do exactly what they say -- they cut off your entire dog's air supply! Needless to say, it's extremely dangerous and you can do serious damage to your dog's oesophagus!


MYTH #2 -- You need a prong (spike) collar to train "tough" or “aggressive” dogs.

This is stupid, too. Prong collars have spikes that jab into your poor dog's neck every time you jerk the leash. And you know what? Those collars were designed to mimic the bite of another dog! And as you know if you’ve seen a dog fight, aggression begets more aggression.

Only experienced, trained dog professionals should be using prong collars -- and only for special situations! The average dog owner should NEVER be advised to use these collars!

MYTH #3 -- You need an electronic shock collar to stop your dog's barking.

This one really pisses me off. It's EASY to stop a dog's barking without using something as inhumane as SHOCKING! And you know what?

Studies show that these shock collars only work a small percentage of the time anyway, and the dog just learns to be afraid of the collar! Never mind the serious damage these collars do to your dog's immune system!

MYTH #4 -- You need to dominate your dog by using physical force (smacking, hitting, choking).

In the wild, a pack leader doesn't suddenly overreact and beat its pack members into the ground. If the pack leader did this in their natural habitat, the rest of the pack would attack the alpha because it would be showing nervous or angry energy (unbalanced energy), which dog’s simply do not respond to.

A pack leader is calm, consistent, and fair. So hitting your dog won't win his respect -- it'll just make him fearful of you!

MYTH #5 -- You need to YELL at your dog, so it perceives you as tough.

Yikes. This is just dumb as well. To a dog, yelling sounds like panicked barking -- which confirms in their mind that something is wrong! A good trainer can easily control their dog with a quiet whisper and hand signals. (I'm going to show you how to control your dog’s every move very easily with ONLY hand signals.)

number 1 is complete BS, of course if the person does not know how to use a training collar properly it can be dangerous, as with pretty much anything.

5 is also BS, you are not supposed to scream at your dog but you do need to give commands in a firm voice and use direct eye contact(does not mean yelling)
You do not train a dog at first with whispering

The rest I agree with though. Leads me to question the rest of the information included and the author. +REP though for sharing

What is real BS is that his sales letter is negative about a choke chain, but the product is not.

Thanks for sharing.
