e-collar use. For example, hunting dog trainers, dont have any other options but to use e-collars to safely communicate to their dogs from over 1000 plus feet away. In the hands of an educated and experienced handler, the probability of such tools being used properly and favorably to the dog are high. However, what makes these tools less favoral for comapnion dog training? One of the kids said "using e-collars for companion dog training is an easy way to manipulate the dog, not giving the dog an option to work through it, but to make it." We discussed the use of positive punishment in training and the different forms of this. We compared punishment when its aversive to the dog, vs punishment when its respected by the dog... what are these differenences, or are there? One of the campers said "we fail the dogs because of our inconsistenties in positive punishment. We all have our own interpreations of what is acceptable, and what is not. Also, what we think may hurt the dog, might not really, some of us are afraid to say no and feel bad following through." Most our campers dont have their own dogs... so where are they getting this from. Parenting! They are drawing so much from their own experiences and relations with their parents, it is amazing! Another camper said "we are constantly changing how we ask of something and what we ask of..." Changing the criteria of the behavior without every making it known or givine it a fair chance to be understood. So how do consequences, positive or negative, punishment or rewards, impact these changes? How does this impact our relationship?
