Thisssss 🙌🏻

Imagine calling yourself a dog trainer and kicking a dog out of class because they’re too difficult for you to work with.

And then also telling that same client that the actual solutions to the problem will make things worse…(aka correcting unwanted behavior and teaching a dog boundaries)

This is SO common. We hear stories like this every day and it’s really just so sad. This is why we’re so loud and outspoken about the industry and all the scams happening out there.

Basic obedience class will not resolve behavioral issues. And “behaviorists” will just tell you to medicate your dog after you pay them $800 for an essay on WHY your dog is behaving in such a way…

How is any of this in the best interest for the dog or the owner?

Lex will be coming into heat next month and we will be breeding her one more time and using Larry. Puppies will be due January/February and ready to go March/April. As of right now we have a few deposits and are taking a few more. Lex is fully health tested passing OFA and clear DNA for genetic diseases. Lex has her National cert as a gun dog as well as PP trained. Larry is also fully health tested and clear for everything as well as imprinted on narcotics and has a great nose and natural calm drive to search. This is a repeat breeding that has been done in the past twice and they have had multiple dual purpose offspring in LE as well as PP, service work, detection, active companions and even dual purpose detection/ school comfort dogs. These two make some really great puppies very stable and sounds with solid drives and nerve. If you are interested in a puppy please message us for more details on how to get on this list. We are expecting Malinois and Dutchies as they’ve produced both in the past.

Putting a dog down and condemning them to death because you refuse to use any method that isn't "positive only" isn't very positive...

Sedating a dog into a zombie because you don't like other training tools isn't very positive...

Restricting a dog to a confined life without the chance to thrive isn't very positive...

Telling someone to put down their 8 month old working line dog for having lots of energy and acting like an 8-month-old working dog isn't very positive...

Guilting a young family that lives in an apartment into adopting a large dog with behavior issues isn't very positive...

Telling an older lady their dog would be better off dead then using a prong collar that helps her walk and control her dog isn't very positive....

Bashing other trainers because they don't train dogs using only one method isn't very positive...

Having an owner put a 5 month old puppy on 400mg of trazadone isn't very positive...

Harming dogs because of your own ego isn't very positive...

All of the things I just listed are REAL things that owners have dealt with by "certified positive only trainers and behaviorists."

Anyone can be certified online for $50. It means nothing.

Dogs and their humans deserve real trainers who care and emphasize for both ends of the leash. Trainers who will tailor training to each dog in front of them. Don't be fooled by the "positive" sounding approach. That's just fancy marketing from people who care more about their ego and lining their pockets rather than helping the dog community.

I've chosen to speak out on this because I care and hate seeing dogs harmed. The positive only cult is doing more harm than good to dogs. Dogs and owners that are already having a difficult time. Enough is enough.

Work begins before coming to a trainer and after leaving a trainer. You cannot have minimal foundation and then want 8 months worth of training results/progress in 3-4 months And you cannot keep or even move forward in progress and results if you do not follow through at home thereafter. Dog trainers are not wizards or magicians.
