Over the years I came to realize my error and I've completely renounced coercion and dominance based methods. Years of regret over a well intended but misguided approach to working with dogs kept me from doing what I love. I'm starting over and hope to learn from people here.

Starting Over
Hi all. Many years ago, while volunteering with a dog rescue, I was taught what I know see are counterproductive "training" methods. Over the years I came to realize my error and I've completely renounced coercion and dominance based methods. Years of regret over a well intended but misguided approach to working with dogs kept me from doing what I love. I'm starting over and hope to learn from people here. Helping dogs is a calling for me and I want to do it right. Thank you for this opportunity to learn.

Re: Starting Over
Hi! One of the greatest things about this forum, imo, is that folks here are always saying things like "when you know better, you can do better". I love that this forum is focused on learning how to do better for the dogs in our lives - so you are definitely in the right place!
