TRAIN EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT PAIN!

The Click-L_Animal Behavior and Training list takes a constructional approach to problem solving. This means we teach animals what we want them to do in highly effective ways that do not focus on corrections and punishment.

We discuss behavior analytic principles as they relate to the training of any species of animal, including the human. We focus on scientifically demonstrated methods, and do not allow discussions of animal psychics and communicators, flower essences, etc.

We focus on using the least invasive and painful methods available, an approach supported by scientific research.

We focus on training methods that help build relationships between us and the animals we teach in a way that correction-based methods cannot do.

Members may not recommend the use of corrections, shock collars, prong collars, choke chains, etc. Such recommendations will result in that member being immediately placed on moderated status. Repeated promotion of such punishment methods will result in banning. Discussions about punishment training devices and methods are permitted in the spirit of learning as we look for less problematic alternatives.

Only active members may post seminar information, and no more frequently than twice per month.

No spam!

Disagreements should be handled in a "This is the way I see it" manner, not a "You're wrong" manner. Violators will be moderated.

Use MUCH discretion when responding to ads on these pages as they are not approved by the list owner or moderator.
