The Truth About [FLOODING] in Dog Training

Welcome to our video on flooding in dog training! In this video, we'll be discussing what flooding is and how it can be harmful to your dog's training and overall well-being. Flooding is a training technique where an animal is suddenly and intensely exposed to a stimulus that they fear or find overwhelming. This can be done with the intention of helping the animal overcome their fear, but it can often have the opposite effect. The video explains why the TV show Fear Factor was so popular and it bridges the gap between that and the rise of popular dog TV shows. Finally, the video also explains the concept of learned helplessness in the world of dog training. Both flooding and learned helplessness can be incredibly damaging to a dog. In this video, we'll go over some alternatives to flooding that are more positive and effective for training your dog. We hope you enjoy and learn something new!
