Would love to read but the preprint link doesn’t work for me, are you able to share another way? Thank you ☺️

Some of this advice is great, however, some of it is a little strange… Ignore your dog completely when you return home? 😬 dogs are social beings - any dog (let alone an anxious dog) would find this super weird! Calm departures and returns - yes 🙌

As is Turbo! Ready to hound down on the new dog science inside no doubt 🐶🔬

Russos looking forward to retrieving the updated version!

Which is obviously really concerning if naive dog owners choose to use aversive methods under the illusion it will quickly ‘fix’ their dogs ‘problem’ behaviour. When actually science tells us it’s actually damaging to the dog-human relationship and potentially makes the problem worse ☹️ a great read!

It gives the illusion of a ‘fast fix’ for complex anxiety or fear based behaviours, like reactivity, and I think there are some balanced trainers out there which capitalise on the ‘fast’ nature of these platforms.

Really interesting article, Zazie! The ‘fast’ nature of some social media platforms like TikTok or Instagram reels, where you can see a long process (like teaching a dog a new cue or behaviour), I think can also be problematic in dog training for social media users who own dogs.
