Force or Facillitate?

Often while talking with folks I am reminded of how much confusion there is in the training world with the alpha concept, behavioral analysis and everything in between. I am so clear now in this area and that is mainly due to one person- Dr. Susan Friedman. Here is a link to articles she has written, my favorite is “He said, she said- Science says”.

Here is a quote from Susan:

“With a sound knowledge of the tools of applied behavior analysis it is a reasonable goal to facilitate, rather than force, all behavior.

-Susan G. Friedman, PhD

Such sound science- sound wonderful science! So with your puppies, if it doesn’t make sense - don’t do it!
