The past couple of weeks in Sydney have been nothing short of amazing. We were thrilled to welcome our American family, Shawn and Janet Edwards, along with their colleagues Zack Burke and Travis Lloyd. Their expertise and passion for training were invaluable as they joined us for PSA trial judging, decoy certification, Deadpool decoy school, and Janet’s seminar.

Training is at the heart of everything we do, and having these experts with us elevated our sessions to new heights. The PSA trial judging was rigorous and insightful, providing our participants with constructive feedback to refine their techniques. Moreover, the decoy certification process was equally intense, ensuring that our decoys are prepared for any scenario.

One of the highlights was the Deadpool decoy school, where Zack and Travis showcased their advanced skills and strategies. This left our team inspired and eager to incorporate these new methods into our training routines. Additionally, Janet’s seminar was another standout, offering deep dives into specialized training techniques that captivated everyone in attendance.

Overall, this experience reinforced the importance of continuous training and collaboration. Consequently, we are grateful to Shawn, Janet, Zack, and Travis for their dedication and expertise. Their contributions have undoubtedly made a lasting impact on our training programs, and we look forward to future collaborations.

In this episode of our podcast, we tackle the often misunderstood topic of punishment in dog training. There’s been a lot of misinformation circulating, including the outrageous claim that balanced trainers hold positive punishment seminars. We want to set the record straight and explain how punishment, when used correctly, plays a vital role in teaching dogs to eliminate or reduce unwanted behaviors.

Punishment, in the context of dog training, is not about abuse or harsh methods. It’s about providing clear boundaries and consequences that help dogs understand which behaviors are undesirable. This clarity aids in creating a structured environment where dogs can thrive.

One of the key points we discuss is the difference between punishment and abuse. While punishment is a controlled, measured response to a specific behavior, abuse is harmful and unacceptable. Understanding this distinction is crucial for anyone involved in dog training.

Throughout the episode, we also delve into how punishment, when balanced with positive reinforcement, can be an effective tool. It’s about finding the right balance and ensuring that the well-being of the dog is always the priority.

Join us as we dispel myths and provide insights into the responsible use of punishment in dog training. Listen now to gain a better understanding and become a more informed trainer.
