Abstract
Aversive training is a threat to companion animal welfare (AVSAB, 2007). We found that the endorsement of male role norms predicted the willingness to use aversive training methods, beliefs in Dominance Theory, less willingness to use science-based training methods, lower empathy towards companion animals, and beliefs in human supremacy.
