Austria is progressing: ending with aggressive dog training!

A drastic step in animal welfare was carried out in Austria: the training of protective dogs that learn aggressive behavior against people will be banned in the future. This decision reflects a change in the view that dogs do not need training based on aggression for a happy and fulfilling life. "Betting into social partners is not a need that a dog has to meet," said the clear position of animal rights activists. This can also be seen in the devastating incidents caused by such training, as well as from APA-OTON reported.

The experts agree: dogs are highly social beings who willingly work for people, although it is our responsibility not to exploit this trust. Alternatives to aggressive training offer many opportunities that meet the needs of animals without having to learn violence against people. According to a study from 1994, human understanding and its expression is crucial for peaceful forms of life. A awareness of the emotional world of our animal companion is increasingly recognized, which illustrates the need for drastic changes in the formation of dogs, as well as the text of Springer noted.
