Web site video - Professionalism? - Page 1

I don't know the people involved or anything about this company, but does anyone else think puffing away on a fag (vids 6 & 13) and zipping up his trousers (vid 12)  in the promotional videos looks very unprofessional and sloppy?

Can't say I felt inspired to train with this man.

I am sorry but that Doberman will not bite a fly!!!He is barely hanging on with very little pressure!!!

OK I don't like hacking anyones dogs or training  as the saying goes three traininer will agree that the third is wrong. To each is their  but in general yes one has to be professional. I personally have told handlers on the field either smoke or handle but not at the same time it does not look good (specially on videos)

The great thing about videos - it is very hard to lie what the dog brings or how the decoyer decoys.

I'm not bashing the mans training, I don't know him and he may well be working with very average pet dogs belonging to other people rather than the best and you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.  I just felt if he was paying so little attention to detail that he puts up promotional video on his site with a fag hanging out of the trainers mouth and adjusting his flies, he probably doesn't pay enough attention to detail in training.  Makes me wonder what the out takes were like!

His videos give him a better image than your screen name gives you.

And your screen name gives you a better one?

My screen name is a tribute to a very special dog I owned, named for a proud race of warriors and if anyone chooses to put any other interpretation on it, the problem is in their head, not mine.

Margaret, I can't find the one you're on about.  I've watched a couple but it's like the Blaire witch thingy and it makes my eyes hurt!
