Who should you trust to train your dog?

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.
