It seems that a lot of things scare you to death, chill out. People need to evaluate anyone they choose for a service, license or not.

My opinion now- after reading all this- ALLLLLLLLLL TRAINERS THAT CALL THEMSELVES trainers need to be certified by a REAL SCHOOL and FORCED TO CARRY a license like I do.. This has scared me to death- mail order certificates- GOOD LORD!!!! jeeeeeeeeeeeeeez! :eek:

ummm why? If you can prove to me that ALL certified trainers make NO mistakes and have not ruined or caused any behavioural issues in any dogs then I will jump on your band wagon. Otherwise all you are requesting is for the government to have more control in our lives in areas where they do not need to be.

To be honest I would rather not have you train my dogs, you seem rather high strung to me and I would think the dogs would do better with a calmer person. Your stories change a lot, you said 2 or 3 pages before you had to be in class in 15 minutes.

Very well put Borz., my feelings exactly. There are just too many money hungry people out there and too many naive people who don't recognize what a good trainer is all about.
As stated, if ALL trainers were licenced our shelters might not be so full of unwanted animals with behavior problems.

So now the amount of shelter animals is an uncertified trainers problem and fault? How does that make any sense? What does certified have to do with the amount of dogs ending up in the shelter?

And how do you KNOW that trainer that they went to wasn't certified? The trainer could have been.

Ummmm that was rude. I think you need to take a step back. and take a deep breath. You have no idea how intelligent her dog is so to start that was really uncalled for.

Do you EVER stop?? :confused:

This bickering every night is incredibly annoying and why many long-term PT'ers no longer frequent as much as they used to.
