Who cares whether or not a trainer is innovative.
What is important is that their methods are effective. My training rules (sorry I'm being redundant here) are
1) I cannot get hurt
2) My dog cannot get hurt
3) My dog must be more relaxed (I did not say tired although a "good tired" is ok here) at the end of the training session than at the beginning
We spend too much time evaluating trainers rather than specific training techniques. Cesar uses some fantastic training techniques, just as i am sure that VS does, and every other successful trainer. It would be far better for us to focus on specific training techniques that would work for us as individuals.
