Picking a fight with Hasan Piker while midterms are gearing up is the dumbest fucking idea. The consultant class really is a problem when it comes to meaningful change. (TikTok screencap)

Abusers frequently do love their victims. I don’t doubt you love your dog, and that she loves you. Doesn’t change that you are aware she fears the remote and that you’re okay with her cowering. You make no effort to comfort her nor teach her why she shouldn’t fear a remote. The remote isn’t going to hurt her, it just reminds her of the time you used a remote to scare her. Actions speak louder than the words you type.
Work on your understanding of classical conditioning and seek therapy.
Oh I didn't realize you know me in real life and have seen me with my dogs.
What's my dogs name, by the way? Who are you as well, seeing as you seem to know me so well?
Ohhh, right right — you don't know anything other than what I've typed and are completely delusional. Either that or you're a bot, I'm actually inclined to believe you're a bot at this point.
Of course I don’t know you, internet stranger. All I have to go off of is what you’ve typed, which is the cycle of abuse. You love, you use fear to gain control, you go back to love. Your dog is in an inescapable situation, she obviously wants to love you, you don’t always use aversive methods to scare her into compliance, but you’re willing to. And you know it scares her, but you minimize the impact because “it doesn’t hurt” and “I give her love”.
Am I mistaken? Did you not say that you used a vibration and sound collar on her, that she’s now scared of a tv remote and the sound of crumpling paper? What’s the purpose of such a collar? Did you think startling her was a love language? Those things exist to spook a dog and get it to comply, not reward them for good behavior in a positive way.
