AVSAB
American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior
Positions system:
Are adversive training techniques, appropriate for animals who exhibit aggression? Animals with challenging behavior disorders, such as aggression should be treated with effective, compassionate, and humane methods of training, rather than with a “heavy hand” there are no exceptions to this standard!”
“ Why should adversives of training techniques be avoided? The consequences and fallout from aversive training methods have been proven and are well documented. These include increased anxiety, and fear-related aggression, avoidance, and learned helplessness. Animals may be less motivated to engage in training and less likely to interact with human members of the household.”
