Ep.15: The Dark Side of R+ | Unpacking Coercion in Dog Training with Karishma Warr

Описание: Can positive reinforcement be... coercive? 🤯 In this episode, I sit down with dog behavior expert Karishma Warr (@transformbehavior) to explore the often-unspoken power dynamics that can show up even in the most well-intentioned training. We talk about choice, consent, emotional pressure, and how to recognize when your dog is simply complying — not healing. If you're interested in truly ethical, relationship-based training that goes beyond surface-level R+, this is a must-listen. 



IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:




•


What coercion really means in a positive reinforcement context




• How basic rights and fundamental needs of pet dogs don't need to be worked for


•


The 3 pillars of coercive relationships with our dogs: Deprivation, High-Stakes, and Authoritarian




•


How power dynamics and pressure can show up even in “force-free” training




•


Genetic coercion in dogs and its impact particularly on "high-drive" breeds




•


The evolution of dog training, and how simply using rewards in training is not enough
