Horrible training kit - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I don't know if anyone has seen the Don Sullivan's Perfect Dog training kit. But I will save you time and money. My husband saw an informercial on a "simple/easy" training kit by the DogFather. My dh spent over $100 on this kit & it arrived today. I opened it and was HORRIFIED!!! It has those spike collars that are used on I guess dangerous dogs, but they were small plastic ones. I called my dh immediately to tell him that it arrived and as I saw the collar he said "stop, I will send it back immediately for a refund". He too could not believe anyone would use such sadistic tool on a furbaby. Knowing how delicate their trachea's are, it actually made me sick to my stomach to think of someone using one of these. I've seen the metal ones on Rotties & Pits, but for a little dog. Just wanted to warn, don't bother.

I haven't heard of this training program, but it sounds horrible! I hope you have no problem sending it back and getting a refund.

thanks for the info. My DH saw the infomercial and I was actually going to purchase it. I am glad I saw your post before I did.

My dh flipped out when he saw it. I'm sure he thought I had exaggerated how horrible it was.

I told him that when he sent it back he should tell the company that this "torture device" is inhuman for any small dog (personally, any animal) especially yorkies, he said 1st it wouldn't matter to them 2nd it specifically stated that it worked exceptionally well on the stubborn yorkie

. He has already prepared it for return shipping but said he doubted we would get a refund, but that was a small amount to pay had we had the good sense not to use it & the potential lethal outcome. He, like I love our furbies. You would think a couple with 5 children & 6 grands would be able to decipher the difference in love between human to furbie, but thankfully that line is completely blurred.

I am sorry wish you had of asked first, I could have saved you the time and stress. He pretty much not a dog trainer at all. Why in the love of all things does he think packing a dog on his back trains them to do anything.

Please take the time to send it back and tell them your thoughts. Tossing it in the garbage means they keep your money and that wrong.
It the only way these ?????!!! that think they can train will be out of buisness as they will not make any money.

There is never any reason ever to run a choke or prong or anything close to that on any dog if you actually can train.
