Link to a published article by Eileen Anderson, Eileen and Dogs

This is an excellent resource published by Eileen Anderson in 2015

From the article:

"Here are two reference lists for the side effects of the use of aversives in punishment, negative reinforcement, and without behavioral change.

  • The first section lists nine types of fallout that are documented and includes references for each.
  • The second section lists studies that found negative effects of the use of aversives specifically on dogs. Many include a link to a user-friendly and clear discussion of the article (click on “See commentary” at the end of many entries.)"
