I looked at your profile and see that you are a dog trainer as well. This thread was not started as a contest between trainers, or for one person to belittle someone else in an effort to feel superior. Yes, I have taken classes, and yes I use positive methods. I use reward based training. I also use teach my clients to ignore bad behaviors and reward behaviors they want to see repeated. I do not use alpha rolls, choke chains, e collars, and the like.
You do not know me, nor do you know the work I do, the clients I've helped, and my passion for what I do. You also do not know that I keep my cost much lower than any other trainer here so that people who need the help can afford it! Most people in my community can't afford the trainers here, and give up their dogs. I've given free training to people so they were able to keep their dogs.
I started this thread in an attemp to offer assistance to members here (which I have done in the past by the way.) and to showcase the question/answers on my website.
I am not going to bicker back and forth with someone who obviously has the need to try and make others feel less than them, in an attempt to feel like they are more worthy. |
