About "Scientific Studies" on Electronic Collars

A member of the professional organization that I belong to, International Association of Canine Professionals, wrote an amazing article that highlights the problems in "scientific studies" on electronic collars.

People hear the word "scientific" and it is assumed that very professional and scientific protocols have been put in place, perhaps by world renowned panel of scientists who are impartial to the dog training debate. One would also assume, therefore, that they would have picked helpers that actually understood and knew what they were dealing with, rather than people who would randomly torture dogs on the highest level of the little known brand of equipment that was selected for the study. Ruth makes it crystal clear what much of the dog training community on both sides is well aware of. There is a sense of humor present in this writing that gave me more than a few chuckles.



This is some one's blog that I have started to follow.
