So there is a local dog event (pretty big one coming up) that the trainer we took Artimis to when he was a puppy is going to. She is having "training" classes there as well. She is NOT a good trainer. She messed up Art by forcing him to do something he wasn't at all comfortable, which made him 10x as afraid. I saw her do the same thing to a puppy that was afraid of other puppies and people. She forced group interactions no matter how many times that puppy reacted badly and snapped at the other dogs. The poor thing just sat by it's owner shaking and peeing on itself. The "trainer" would then push the thing away from it's owner or put it in the middle of a bunch of rambunctious pups.
She did scruff grabs/alpha role one time on a doberman puppy, even though she claims to be completely positive reinforcement. All around she is a liar and a bad trainer. She will, and has, lied directly to your face to get you to join her class and give her your money! Every class she took the opportunity to try and sell her products.
SO.....she's going to be at a local dog event. Now the question is should I go and warn people? Or just let it be? What would you do?
