This is some very interesting research which probably applies just as much to dogs.

I feel sorry for the rats though. Note how the report says they sere given “mild” electric shocks. Oh yeah? So how come they were so stressed out, their amygdala was activated and their cortisol levels went up?

 

 

 

 

About transformational1

I have many interests and I have had a varied career. I am a semi-retired professional dog trainer, specialising in the use of positive reinforcement. I do some consultations, I run instructor workshops and I am setting up a Dogs and Psychotherapy Research Project. I have a law degree from Melbourne University (but have never practiced) and I am passionate about Human Rights. My first degree was in Sociology. I worked as a social researcher on issues such as low income housing, women's refuges and women in the workforce. I live in an inner suburb of Melbourne, Australia, and I have a German Shepherd called Chance.
