@thinkingcanine: Did you know that bonking is a training technique, where dogs are hit with tightly rolled up towels or light plastic bats or cardboard tubes like what this looks like (white tuff tube)? The idea is for the noise to “correct” the dog without “hurting” them. The idea is to make the dog afraid so they don’t repeat the behavior. You can see here these dogs didn’t scream out in pain, but they look terrified. The little puppy goes right back to trying to play while the older dog cringes on the ground. I find this and the push for bonkers to be frankly, disgusting. The problem goes far beyond this trainer, this is an ideology being pushed as you can see in the video of another trainer explaining how to hit little puppies… this is the advice out there guys! #DogTraining #dogtrainer #balancedtrainer #balancedtraining
