If you spent a few hours with him, or with any trainer and gave yourself permission you could glean techniques and taylor them to suit your lifestyle. It isn't about emulating a specific trainer, its about finding specific training techniques that will work.
Think about a training technique as a computer program module. You modify modules to suit a customer's needs -- there is seldom a case where a customer would buy a business application off the shelf that would work without modification. The same is true with dog training. You glean, modify, test and if it works keep it, if it doesn't work, either you debug or you ditch it and start over. |
I have spent any number of hours with several trainers and behaviorists.. lucky me and I do just that pick and choice what works for the dog I working on or couching client about.
But all to many do emulate Ceaser and his macho ways and dogs are paying the price.
Actually having thought of it quicksilvers view is right most of the dogs he works with have stinking amazing bite control...hummm. now what is up with that??? Must go ask a freind.... face book calling
Oh yes I know now cherry picked.... cool why did I not think of that.
