Real life problems with fictional solutions is how the world is working to solve some of the problems owners are having with dogs. Yes, we ranted in this episode as we can foresee a future that for many dogs was successful, will now not be. People who are upheld in the community are giving fictional advice while contradicting their own practices.

Trainers who misquote, mislead and misunderstand tools are continuing to create fictional headlines and beat up other trainers and owners who all see good results and have happy, healthy productive lives.

Cherry picked, sympathetic science is no longer a reliable place to seek non bias information when those very people are radical activists and report on their feelings and not observational facts.

“Death before discomfort” you squawk! I don’t believe you would choose that hypocritical option yourself. You’ll soon get your wishes now you have taken a reliable tool from the table and suitably mislabelled it to suit your grim narrative.

As we have known this is coming, we have done other predictive episodes on it called, A world without tools

Setting a dangerous precedent is focussing on how a state Government decided it would announce the banning of certain training tools.

The concern here once again, is the complete lack of industry consultation along the way with industry experts or any of the thousands of people who use these tools with enormous benefits.

We are joined by Kirsty Reid as she and Brittany Young with assistance from Marcia Davies, have created a on-line petition to demand better representation and consideration from Government decision makers.

What is a precedent you may ask? An earlier event or action that is regarded as an example or guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances.

So you may not entirely support some of the training tools that are being considered on the banning list but again the precedence from this action will leech into other areas that will have an effect on something you do want or need.

You can email the ladies direct on dogtrainingqld@gmail.com to receive all the information you require on how to help support this cause.

A world without tools is an objective to several groups and individuals in the dog training communities. Clearly we’re talking about the training tools that some trainers choose to use during the training process.

These are tools recognised as electric or remote training collars, prong collars, correction or choke chains, martinagles, slip leads etc.

To certain groups of dog trainers, many of these are the essentials, where some or all of them are selected over the training process and used in ethical educational outcomes.

To others, they are a tormenting and diabolical to be considered at all.

In Australia we sometimes refer to a ‘tool’ as an imbecile. So we have a training industry saying that suggests, “It’s not the training tool that causes the problems. It’s the tool on the end of the lead that does that”.
