Winterpaws Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 I know I know I have set my goal posts too far away expecting my trainers to actually have a qualification or have done some form of study My pet HATE at the moment is people who call themselves behaviorists after watching a dvd or reading a book. Bloody disgraceful and downright dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJean Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 She has a website as well Ernywww.tamargeller.com She's a life coach for dogs Known for her insight, enthusiasm and red-carpet glamour, Tamar rejects the painful prong collars and choke chains that have been common tools of dog trainers for decades. This spring she releases her highly anticipated book, "The Loved Dog: The Playful Nonaggressive Way to Teach Your Dog Good Behavior" (Simon and Schuster) and her DVD, "Celebrate Your Dog! The Loved Dog Way of Training," based on her innovative and revolutionary approach to dog training - one that is light-years ahead of the typical dog trainer pack. Maybe I'm biased and don't know squat and am a poor dog handler and as a result my dogs and my views on training suffer as a consequence. But if I could have a trainer who shuns painful and cruel methods like the correction chain and prong - even a life coach for dogs walk and train a typical male CAO and ASD (only because these are the only breeds I 'know') then I'll be a convert. Please show me the light and walk one in confidence on a halti or flat collar. By 'confidence' I mean if they decide to go for another dog or 'threat' no correction will be necessary to enforce a sit or leave command. Actually instead of whining I'm going to look me up a positive trainer. Perhaps I will learn something new and change my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle wrangler Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I've recorded the show, too. Only watched the first bit .. Erny, if you have trouble getting a recording, PM me. I'm at work all weekend, but can try Monday. Had a laugh, too, when they said it was a "new method"- positive reinforcement- radical :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I've recorded the show, too. Only watched the first bit ..Erny, if you have trouble getting a recording, PM me. I'm at work all weekend, but can try Monday. Thank you PW. I'll wait for a bit to see how BP goes. If BP can't get the recording over to disc, then yes, I'd very much appreciate a copy of it from you. :D Please hold on to that recording just in case. :D Cheers!

SkySoaringMagpie Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 i.e. "spotty was aggressive and his owner at wits end but once they came to me all problems solved". God I hate that, in books particularly. Winterpaws is right, after a while they do all sound the same. I wouldn't mind if they started with "Fluffy was extremely nervous, and would pee every time hubby came home" and then went through step by step what they did with Fluffy and then said "Fluffy rarely pees inside now". It's one of those destructive things in dog training, people letting their egos get in front of communicating the necessary information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tess32 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I've seen her on the Oprah show before, she seemed incredibly simplistic to me and was only vaguely applying a whole mish mash of stuff. It amazes me how many dog trainers Oprah appears to need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunoBella Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I just have to work out how to get it off my foxter IQ box. If possible, will PM you.BP Thanks BP. But please don't PM me ..... it won't go through. Email please :p . Erny, I can't figure it out I never had to get something off my foxter box before. Can you try Poodle wrangler first. I will keep my copy in the meantime in case it doesn't work. BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erny Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) Pax - thanks ..... but where is the YouTube bit of the show where this "new" trainer presents the Pressure Point Collar (PPC)? Is that what you were (kindly) providing? ETA: I am so not good at finding myself around these 'news' sites Edited January 13, 2008 by Erny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
