Ethical Dog Trainers Against E-Collar Bans Petition
There is a movement gaining traction in San Francisco, California as well as New York State to ban the use of electronic collars in dog training. We recognize that this is a controversial and emotionally charged subject.
As professional dog trainers who promote the ethical and humane application of appropriate training tools we strongly oppose this proposition.
Help by signing this petition.

Question
My 13 year old dog doesn’t seem to want to play tug outdoors anymore, is it too much to expect an older dog to play tug?
Answer
I'd get him checked out by a vet or good canine chiropractor. All of my older dogs like the idea of playing tug but the truth is they often have physical deficits and diminished strength that may make
the actual tugging part of the game uncomfortable or even painful for them. Even if they seem invested in the game they often have pain later or the next day due to muscle loss and stiffness.
My old dog Rush would have done bitework or played tug at any opportunity but his old body would make him pay with pain and stiffness the next day. I had to find other ways of rewarding him or tone
the game down by just letting him possess the tug and making a big fuss about him and not actually doing any tugging.
