Bad Dog Trainer Beware !!

I didn't take the word of anybody - I was basing what I had to say on his "book", which sickened me. I don't disagree that adversives work, or that in some circumstances, such as police dog training, they might be the way to go. My problem is with a person who calls all trainers who use positive reinforcement "idiots, fools, thieves and liars". This guy is an arrogant, pompous ass who is not even willing to consider the idea that not all dogs need to be beaten with a stick in order to be trained.
They are in a class of their own. But it doesnt mean they are better than any other dogs, different is the word.
They're not that different. They're still of the canine species. ROFLOL!!! The laws of learning and canine behavior still apply. Swinging at dogs with sticks is not part of training. It's abuse. Let's get that straight and stop trying to make excuses and justify this appalling treatment of dogs. There are plenty of police dog trainers out there that do NOT do what was described in the OP. It doesn't matter anyhow what the result is or what it's purpose is. Abuse is abuse is abuse. Hitting, striking, hanging, gagging, yanking, lifting a dog up by his neck is abuse.
Soo my child should live in fear of my dogs huh? And all my friends dogs? Strange...they seem so well behaved.
scary she looks like she needs a good beating to settle her down..
So all those thousands of kids that have pet my dogs at events like the Royal Winter Fair, Sportsman Show, and the All About Pet Show, were in grave danger?
who would have thought this child was in such a dangerous position..they both look so happy don't they?
