@freawalkwithme: The age old “gotcha” point for users of aversive tools. An ecollar is the only way to be safe around sheep… this lovely bit of misinformation will lead to more livestock deaths, not prevent them. If a dog cannot mentally handle a level of calmness around sheep and livestock without the reminder of a strong tool then find a different walking route. A lead is the only physical barrier that keeps everyone safe, there is no argument or alternative. Balanced trainers pearl clutching their precious ecollar remotes is hilarious to see, because they lack the knowledge and skill to understand that there is an alternative and it’s not using force. .

The dog watches it and then turns and runs towards the camera.] . #goldenretriever #goldenretrieversofinstagram #DogTraining #forcefreetraining #positivereinforcementtraining #assistancedogintraining #livestock #dogsoftiktok #fyp #fypage
