Nor an I but we are the exception to the rule as are a few others here.
That many do look at CM as the, oh can not say that, end all and be all of dog training and do not have a good start point to their learning about dogs he is not that start point.
We get dogs into big trouble.
There are many a trainer and behaviourist working on the messes that those people have done working his methods.
You can go on that it is not his fault but if he puts it out there and he is selling it it is.
When there are viable safe slow gentle methods that hurt aton less then slamming a dog to the ground laying on top of it until it stops fighting.
No dog gets up from a roll and goes lets do it again. The postive way he does try hard and want to learn.
I want learning not learned helplessness.
