Who should you trust to train your dog?

OMG!!!
I'll admit we have a shock collar, my husband bought it when we couldn't keep Sierra from jumping on and over our fence. We've had it for about 5 years, and she's only been jolted a handfull of times, (and each time I cried) after that... as soon as she had the collar on she was good as gold!!
Actually, it's been a few years now since we've even put it on her!
That's one thing.... but what this "Lady" is doing is horrible!!!!
She's sick... SICK In the head!!!!!

Acckkkk..WTH is wrong with some people??? The whole shock collar around the waist realy threw me!! Its bad enough using a shock collar the way she did, but to place another one around the dogs waist??

I won't even visit the link but I can imagine.

Some people are so sick but the most worrying thing is that they passionately believe they are right and that their methods works.

I know that dog behaviourists and such are generally very opposed to shock collars, pring collars, choke chains, all those things. They often end up teaching the wrong thing along with being cruel.
I wouldn't use them on my dogs....ever!!!

I read the entire story. I truly hope that woman is given the maximum fine, jail time, and has to go for psych eval & therapy. What she does is animal abuse, and to think people pay her enourmous sums to do so is equally outrageous. If you own the dog, YOU train the dog.

I would not trust anyone who didn't allow me to witness any training & I
would never ,ever send my dog off with anyone for training elsewhere.

This woman gives the words "dog whisperer" a bad name. She is a total
nut case & I do hope she is prosecuted.

Exactly Pat. I do not understand why anyone would drop their dog off to be trained by someone else. If I'm living with the pet, I'm going to be involved in the training.

I hope the woman is jailed for a long long time. Those poor dogs.
