Trust-Based Dog Behavior Framework – A New Model for Emotional Communication?

[sstroell]

In this framework, I propose a shift from control and correction to trust and emotional logic in dog training.

Instead of enforcing obedience, the model encourages emotional resonance, clear intent, and respectful leadership – without bribes, threats, or tools.

Key components include:

Emotional feedback loops

Off-leash reliability built on internal regulation

Communication over correction

What are your thoughts on this trust-based, emotion-driven model?
Does this align with what you’ve seen in your experience? Where do you see strengths – or potential gaps?
