    Shelly, you know I am a certified trainer, and a certified Service animal trainer. What guarantee is that? For all anyone knows I beat my dogs with carrots when no one is looking.

    lol, I am sorry, but that's sort of an odd mental picture....why carrots might I ask? Wouldnt something more menacing be more appropriate?

    Basically any joe on the street can call themselves a dog trainer. thats why its so important to do your research when choosing one. the woman I trained under has written out some info on telling the difference btw the different terms people use (i.e. "behaviorist", "trainer", "behavior specialist", etc) on our site: http://www.seattledogs.com/faqs.htm#how

    Sahkmet (the bunski)
    Brock, Alki & Royal (the beasts)
    Felix & Linus (the mewsons)





    Brock - Royal - Alki

    Dr. Goodnow....the ADA laws are all over the internet for everyone to read.
    As for our Canadian laws I respect the ones that pertain to me.

    I guess if people want to put out their money to train with a self made trainers that's their business.
    I will stand with the certified licensed trainers that I know and admire.

    ROFL.. true.. But you did take the certification- the license just makes reports as traceable.
