Dog training methodology is a highly debated topic, with some vocal trainers advocating for exclusively positive reinforcement and force-free training. The force-free training movement, popularized through social media, has become a lucrative billion-dollar industry, but its consequences may outweigh the positives. This book examines the current state of dog training and discusses ethical alternatives to force-free methods. It covers the history of dog training, common myths, equipment, and the merits of balanced training methods that do not dogmatically avoid occasional force.
