An archive, not an argument.
The internet has a lot of opinions about how to train a dog. Most of them come without a source you can check.
What this is
The The Truth about Dogs Repository collects what the actual research — and the major veterinary and behavior organizations — say about humane, reward-based dog training. Each card links to its source. Each carries a small badge telling you what kind of source it is, when it was published, and how much weight it should carry.
We're not here to fight on social media. We're here to make the evidence easy to find, easy to read, and easy to verify.
If you're new to this conversation, welcome. If you're a trainer, a guardian, or just someone who loves their dog and wants to do right by them: this is for you.
Editorial stance
The weight of the current evidence supports humane, reward-based training as the primary approach for companion dogs. The archive reflects that — but it also includes contested findings, clearly labeled, with links to the critique. We'd rather you think for yourself than take our word for it.
