You may have been kidding but all to many feel this way.

Reason being is that they think that zapping. yelling, hitting or poking, shoving ones fist in mouths of dogs is the only way to do any training. They can not bring themselves to hurt a family member and rightly so. But in that they do not think there is any other better way so they do not train at all.
They head down a road that leads to a dog out of control and again as they feel there is no choice other then Ceasers way, they go do it.
Sadly it is not just ceaser there are many that stick to the old way of doing things we have one in Canada that really is quite a ton worse and he is oon TV to. I have the great fortune to be one of the few that says I failed to hire him.
There is a better non voilent respectful way of training and it does not need to be clicker it can be lure and reward. Just no zap or poke need happen.
