Another trainer..... - Page 1

               This afternoon I was shopping at a local pet shop in my neighborhood. I bumped into an old acquaintance that was the vet-tech several years ago at my veterinarians office. It was by accident that I noticed her dog wearing what I thought was a muzzle , and made a comment about my male having to wear one as well. She quickly pointed out that it was not a muzzle , but a gentle leader. Anyway, at that point we recognized each other and started to chat........To make an hour long conversation short, she has been studying animal behavior science yada...yada...yada,,,,she is close to having her masters in yada...yada..yada...and is a certified yada...yada...yada...It all sounded very impressive. but way above my head.... This is the kicker...Not kidding, she said it just this way...Quote,,,,,,

                                   " ..If you plan on doing Shutzhund with your male, I hope you find someone who TRAINS SHUTZHUND WITH A CLICKER"........

                 Longer story short.......She works with a Shutzhund trainer who trains Rotts and has titled some very nice dogs......WITH A CLICKER.........no training collars, no shock collars,......just a clicker.......


          If that was not enough to cause me to drive off the nearest bridge, because I need another trainer like I need a hole in my head........She said my behaviorist did not have the right letters behind her name....and my AKC trainers were not as wonderful as I had thought......yada...yada.....yada.......

                                                                                   BANG........

    Moons.....    Thank you for putting me out of my misery.....

Everyone's an expert.

Chatting technique with a friend or colleague is one thing, randomly telling someone what they need to do is just rude.

Out of curiosity, how was the dog with the Useless Leader behaving?

I avoid behaviorists myself.
Just saying.

Yeah, I don't need a six figure piece of paper to tell me what a dog is thinking. That's what training is for.
