Our Commitment to Force-Free, Positive Dog Training and Care
At doggofind, we are dedicated to promoting force-free, positively reinforced methods for dog training and care. This approach reflects our core values of empathy, respect, and a deep understanding of the sentient nature of dogs.
We believe dogs are not merely companions or extensions of human lives but sentient beings with their own emotions, desires, and needs. As their caretakers, humans bear the responsibility of ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. This responsibility compels us to support training and care practices that prioritise safety, kindness, and respect for these magnificent animals.
Our decision to endorse modern, science-backed, and humane methodologies stems from our ethical standpoint. While we respect the rights of individuals choose their methods, doggofind does not support or allow the promotion of punitive training techniques or the use of tools and devices designed to inflict pain or cause unnecessary distress to dogs. This includes but is not limited to the use of shock collars (also known as e-collars), prong collars, choke chains, slip leads, or any other equipment used to inflict punishment or distress. We also do not allow the promotion of training techniques such as “lead popping”, choking, hitting, or any other similar technique.
We firmly believe that when humane alternatives are available, they must take precedence. Through our platform, we aim to foster a community that celebrates compassionate, effective, and evidence-based practices for training and caring for dogs, ensuring their happiness, safety, and agency in a world shared with humans.
Together, we can create a brighter, kinder future for dogs and their caregivers.
