Setting Higher Standards - Why Cruelty Has No Place in The Pet Industry Episode Overview: In this powerful episode, Fraser addresses a crucial issue that’s been making headlines—the rising cases of mistreatment toward dogs by pet care professionals. From incidents of handlers using physical force on dogs to unethical practices in training, Fraser dives deep into why even ‘low-level’ cruelty is damaging, unnecessary, and unprofessional. With science-backed insights, Fraser explains the psychology of cumulative stress, trauma bonding, and the lifelong negative effects aversive methods can have on dogs. This episode is a call to action for pet owners and professionals alike to set higher standards and rely on humane, evidence-based methods in training and handling. This Episode Covers: The Rise of Mistreatment in the Pet Care Industry: An overview of recent incidents involving pet professionals in Singapore, the UK, and globally, with a focus on why these behaviours should never be tolerated. The Science Behind "Low-Level" Cruelty: The impact of “small” aversive acts on dogs’ mental health, including cumulative stress and the increased anxiety, fear, and even physical health issues that result over time. Referencing studies from the Journal of Veterinary Behavior, Fraser explains how aversive methods harm dogs at a core level. Understanding Trauma Bonding: Why dogs may appear “loyal” to handlers who mistreat them, a phenomenon known as trauma bonding. Fraser explains how this can create an unhealthy attachment due to stress and survival instincts, rather than true affection or trust. Humane Solutions to Common Frustrations: - Pulling on Walks: Techniques like leash pressure guidance and loose leash walking. - Stealing or Scavenging: Using the ‘Leave it’ command to discourage picking up unsafe items. - Running Away: Teaching recall, ‘Stop,’ and ‘Stay’ commands. ( https://www.noble-canine.com/post/how-to-get-good-recall ) - Overexcitement: Implementing enrichment activities suited to your dog’s needs. ( https://www.noble-canine.com/.../the-hormonal-impact-on... ) Red Flags vs. Green Flags in Choosing a Pet Professional: Fraser shares what to look for when selecting a trainer, vet, groomer, or pet sitter to ensure your dog’s safety and happiness. Key Takeaways: Aversive methods aren’t just outdated—they’re harmful, unnecessary, and based on a misunderstanding of canine psychology. Positive, evidence-based methods lead to better, longer-lasting results and foster a healthier bond between dogs and humans. Pet owners should feel empowered to demand humane treatment for their dogs, especially from pet professionals. Call to Action: Let’s work together to raise the standard in pet care. Listen in to discover how you can ensure your dog is treated with respect and kindness, and learn the red flags to watch for when choosing a pet professional. If you're facing challenges with your dog, reach out to ethical trainers who prioritise your dog's wellbeing.
