I wasn't impressed either by their training methods or their breeding practices, but that's a different topic. They base their training VERY heavily on gaining dominance over the dog and being alpha, but, IMO, I don't think they completely understand dog behavior. For example, I saw a lot of leash pops which they explained would give the dog the message that you are Alpha and that the dog cannot therefore walk in front of you. Their solution: walking in front of you merits a leash pop. If they knew the slightest bit about dominance, they would know that an alpha wolf doesn't require force to assert his position. It is attitude that counts, not physical strength. Additionally, a dog that is trying to walk in front of you isn't necessarily trying to gain dominance.
So, nope, nothing wowed me and I definitely will not be trying their methods (at least, not the ones I saw).
