Respectful Communications Animal Training LLC is dedicated to upholding the November 2025 updates to the Joint Standards of Practice (JSOP) and the Animal Assisted Services International (AASI) Standards of Practice (updated June 2022). These frameworks establish the foundation for professional integrity and animal well-being, serving as the minimum standard for animal training professionals. In these Standards of Practice, dog handlers commit to not using aversive equipment (such as choke chains, prong collars, martingale collars, electronic devices, or any equipment that delivers negative or harmful stimuli), positive punishment, or negative reinforcement techniques, as these are strictly prohibited. A dog’s choice not to engage will always be respected.
The latest JSOP updates reflect an evolving understanding of animal learning and behavior, reaffirming a commitment to unified, compassionate training practices. We fully endorse and support these standards.
Let us help you change those frustrating behaviors and re-start your dog on the right path!
