The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) recently released a position statement on the use of punishment for behavior modification (training), which received some press from AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association--looked to as the "gold standard" for quality veterinary care).

 Purrfect Paws strongly supports the AVSAB's statement and join with the AAHA in supporting the position statement.
