Picking a fight with Hasan Piker while midterms are gearing up is the dumbest fucking idea. The consultant class really is a problem when it comes to meaningful change. (TikTok screencap)

Doubling down on the self-awareness that your action causes an irrational fear in your dog but that you would rather ignore the behavior than work her through it. She fears your tv remote because instead of taking the time to shape her behavior, you slapped a vibration collar on her to scare her when she behaved contrary to your expectations. The unintended consequence of a vibrate and beep collar is that now your dog is afraid of tv remotes and the sound crumpling paper.
The dogs I live with behave because I defined my expectations and set boundaries with patience, repetition, and reward for compliance. Using fear and force will get compliance, but it’s hollow, and as you’ve found out creates skittish dogs. It’s the tired old mentality that a little “tough love” is the solution. But by all means, keep justifying scare tactics and discomfort as tools for dog training. Holy moly, you are cruel.
No I think you’re just delusional, I think you should revisit my previous comments.
And I think you’re an abusive asshole that uses force to get a dog that otherwise loves you to comply because you’re either lazy, incompetent, or enjoy the power. Maybe all three. I think you should experience the same conditioning.
Yeah I’m sure you think a lot of things with no grounding in reality.
You’re the one who put a collar designed to elicit a fear response on your dog, then tried to justify her cowering whenever she sees a remote or hears a loud sound.
Wait, is it that I use force on my dogs or I use a collar to exhibit a fear response?
Maybe you want to add that I hit my dog, since you’re already making whatever you want up?
You know what, I’m no longer of the opinion that you need to go back to school. You need therapy.
Your collar elicits a fear response (cowering), but also gets her to break off whatever behavior you found undesirable. The trigger (vibration/noise) isn’t in itself physically painful, but it startles her. You use psychological abuse (threat of being startled) to get compliance. Then, because vibration/noise isn’t in itself painful, you disregard the psychological effect that’s causing her to cower. You alternate this with “oh, but I love on her the rest of the time”. Alternating between love and fear is an abusive relationship.
Yes continue making whatever you want up. You definitely do not seem like an unhinged person.
I’d rather be the unhinged dude online criticizing using fear to get your dog to comply than the dude who boasts his dog cowers when he grabs a tv remote.
