When A Pre-Written Response to Facebook comments Turns Into A Blog.

I’m going to be very clear about something. I love when people say that I’m trying to be famous? Really?
I am so tired. I’m exhausted. I’m sick and tired of being attacked by dog owners for offering a different suggestion. And I’m getting tired of having to explain myself at every turn. Do I sound angry lately? I am angry – and this blog will explain why.

This isn’t about me, never was. I could care less what people think of me – and I could care less about what people say to me. I am terminally ill, it’s been a rough 5 year medical journey and honestly, I shouldn’t still be alive at this point. I am all about the real science of behaviour – the real B.F Skinner that dog trainers, dog behaviourist and vet behaviourists are lying about. AVSAB literally bastardized B.F Skinners’ book “About Behaviourism” – and I have a full writeup here. Feel free to read it.

And AVSAB follows what? The “scientific consensus” right? Any vet that is willing to euthanize a dog for behaviours – they need to lose their license. Period. Why? Scientific consensus of course. Feel free to read the book and prove it to yourself. But people won’t sit down and read a book from the very man that all these so called “dog trainers” blame for all this garbage. Skinner had NOTHING to do with all this garbage that they call dog training. They blame him – and they get away with it – because dog owners won’t read or listen to Skinner himself. There is lots of video on youtube – go have a listen for yourself. When you understand Skinner – your whole outlook on the world is going to change – and your dog will become so easy, so simple.

Cabral is selling t-shirt saying “Science Has No Place In Dog Training” – problem is – I’m bringing the science and these trainers are not liking it. Why is Zak George pushing Scientific Consensus so hard for dog training? Cause that’s their science that does belong in dog training. There is no science to dog training – there is only “scientific consensus” – that’s why they can only call it “scientific consensus”. If there was any real science to all this garbage? They would just call it science – no? If you can get enough birds together that are willing to chirp the same song? There is your consensus. Oh – the interview that Zak did with Dr. Fernandez, what a bloody joke. Fernandez was blaming Skinner – and pushing the Quadrants – Konrad Most. I emailed Dr. Fernandez requesting a live conversation – he declined of course and I know why. Cause if he’s actually read Skinner – then he is blatantly lying through his teeth and he knows it. And that tells me that he knows the difference – he knows he’s lying to people to make money. And what is that called? A social media influencer and nothing more. There is your “expert”. And all you need do is read one actual book – About Behaviourism from B.F Skinner himself. And you will understand this scam that’s being played on you – to get your money. I can send you a PDF copy if you would like, drop an email.

Skinner described “dog training” in that very book written in 1973 – long before “dog training” became a thing. Methodological behaviourism. It metaphorically cuts the head off the dog – and they only focus on rewarding and punishing the behaviours. Problem is, when you cut the head off – there goes all the drivers of your behaviours. Lets sweep all that subjectivity under the rug, everything is objective. Forget about past events and how they actually shape our behaviours – and affect the now. Forget about comparing human and dog behaviours and emotions/instincts – that’s not allowed.

Experts in behaviours they claim? For all that B.F Skinner gave to the world as the father of Operant Conditioning? Skinner himself never claimed to be an expert in anything. The first line of the intro to his book About Behaviourism states – “Behaviourism is not the science of human behaviour – it is the philosophy of that science”. What is Philosophy but mans quest for knowledge? Nobody to date fully understands human or animal behaviour – but Skinner figured a lot of it out. And he was so right.

B.F Skinner called himself a Radical Behaviourist – yep, he was pretty radical in his understandings. Radical behaviourism would tell you to replace dog with human or human child and ask you – what would you do different? Would you shove food into the face of a scared child and expect it to work? Would you strangle, prong, or shock a scared child? Skinner would ask you why you are doing this to your dog? Why would Skinner tell you to replace dog with human? Cause he was replacing human with dog, pigeon and rat to understand our behaviour – animal behaviour. Skinner was doing experiments on animals in his lab in order to understand human/animal behaviour – we were the target of his research. Not the dog – he wasn’t “training” anything. He was generating many oddball behaviours – creating new behaviours – not shaping old.

Money is a great incentive for lying. Dog training must be worth $100 billion by now? And according to Cabral – dog trainers get a huge slice of that pie. I’m not selling anything to you but the actual science of behaviour – I don’t care if you learn my name. I’m doing this for you dog owners – not for me. I’m not selling treats, or tools of containment of any kind. I’m not trying to make money at this?

People say this is all about me? I could care less if people know my name – I’m just a messenger – this isn’t about me. I can’t even use my name on facebook without something going wrong with the account. I’m using my dogs name – but it doesn’t matter cause it’s not about me. It’s about spreading a message to wake people up. Any adult human that can take to a camera – and tell a desperate dog owner to rehome or kill their dog that the trainer hasn’t met or assessed? You don’t belong anywhere near dogs. Don’t fucking dare sit on a camera and tell people that you love dogs. But people cheer this crap on cause they don’t know any better.
