me every single morning: ugh. so tired. DEFINITELY going to bed early tonight.

me as soon as it's bedtime: I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE ALIVE. SLEEP IS FOR FOOLS AND WEAKLINGS. I AM IMMORTAL. I AM UNSTOPPABLE. I REQUIRE NO SLEEP.

Learning anything about marine mammal training will make you re-evaluate so much of your relationship with your own pets. There is so much force involved in the way we handle domestic animals. Most of it isn’t even intentional, it just stems from impatience. I’m guilty of it myself!

But with the exception of certain veterinary settings where the animal’s health is the immediate priority, why is it so important to us that animals do exactly what we want exactly when we want it? Why do we have to invent all these tools and contraptions to force them to behave?

When a whale swam away from a session, that was that. The trainer just waited for them to decide to come back. If they flat out refused to participate in behaviors, they still got their allotment of fish. Nothing bad happened. Not even when 20-30 people were assembled for a procedure, and the whale chose not to enter the medical pool. No big deal. Their choice and comfort were prioritized over human convenience.

It’s almost shocking to return to domestic animal medicine afterwards and watch owners use shock collars and chokers and whips to control their animals. It’s no wonder that positive reinforcement was pioneered by marine mammal trainers. When you literally can’t force an animal to do what you want, it changes your entire perspective.

I want to see that mindset extended to our domestic animals.

#every time i bring up people being able to train tigers and elephants and whales with positive reinforcement #people who want to use punishment with their dogs say that it's different #yes it is #it is also much harder to train a dangerous wild animal #than it is your domestic dog #get good honestly #i switched from balanced to positive reinforcement #and now to force free #it's much better over here thank you #much more chill and fun when i'm not micromanaging my dog #or getting frustrated at him when he doesn't listen #which is barely ever because he knows he gets rewarded
