Por todo o mundo continuasse a falar abertamente dos problemas graves que usar métodos ultrapassados, coercivos e afectos a aspectos como dominância e whispering desenvolvem nos nossos cães.

Porque temos que ser a voz dos cães, porque eles não podem defender-se a eles mesmos, continuaremos a educar o público.

Lista de algumas das associações mundiais e treinadores, veterinários e/ou etólogos que falam contra o uso de técnicas punitivas nomeadamente coleiras estranguladoras, de bicos, coleiras de choque, métodos de whispering (alpha roll, intimidação e medo como visto no programa The Dog Whisperer), teoria da dominância, uso de reforço negativo e castigos positivos.
