There are those that believe that everyone should not use any aversive when training a dog or doing behavioral modification.  They believe operant and classical condition is the only way to go. Others prefer to use force corrections. They use tools like check chains, pronged collars, e-collars, etc. There are also those that call themselves balance trainers. Instead of trying to train a dog or modify its behavior by force only or positive reinforcement only they believe nature teaches us that you need to have a balance between both in when dealing with dogs. I'm curious as to what other preference are? Where do you stand on this subject. I won't condemn anyone for their methods of choice

I added one more picture today of my dog Kodiak (AKA Kodi or Koko) from last summer. He had become increasingly disabled from a progressive neurological illness and did not make it to his 13th birthday. Before he died our walks had shrunk to a few houses up or down the street and he needed a special harness so we could help him to walk.It is very sad for us to have only one dog now and Henry misses Koko too. Someday we will get another but Henry will have to settle for cat friends now. I still like to look back at the old picture of them together when they were young and playing in the park. Dogs are such a joy in my life but it is so hard to lose them when they get old
