Why animal breeders may not invite you in anymore

You’ve probably read somewhere, maybe even from me, that a breeder that won’t let you see where animals are kept or meet your animals is a big red flag.
That breeders who won’t let you meet the animals or see where they are kept must be hiding something.

Well that’s no longer true

Why you ask?

Because there is a vendetta in the USA right now against breeders, even the really good breeders.

Anti breeder types, be they from HSUS or PETA or other animal rights groups or overzealous animal shelter workers or other similar people are making it their life’s work to get breeders animal seized and stop all breeding.

Many times this involves lying, filing false complaints or worse- setting the breeder up.
Sometimes these people even gain the breeder’s trust or work for them.

No matter how clean your animals are.
No matter how well fed and clean your animals are.
No matter how careful you are to only breed the best and most fully health tested animals
No matter how much time and money you put into them and how much money you lose.

These people are looking to get your dogs seized, to get another “horrible breeder” story in the news, to use you and your animals to get restrictive laws passed.

Breeders now must not only do their absolute best , they now must guard against those that would destroy their life’s work and the animals they love for no reason other than hate.

So the next time an animal breeder grills you with questions, or meets you in their driveway or even at the shopping center in their town, don’t hold it against them - they may just be doing all they can to keep hateful people from destroying all they love.

Hey Bill! Hope you and your amazing family are doing well and that you have had a nice weekend so far. I just had to share with you that Roman is doing FANTASTIC with his ongoing training. We took him to Conestee Park last Sunday afternoon to work with him and there were about 30 other dogs, large and small and little kids, adults everywhere around us. We encountered a couple large dogs in tight spaces such as on the trails and on the bridges and Roman did EXCELLENT! He walked right next to my left side consistently and did not jump up on anyone, pull away or jerk on the lead, he didn’t react or bark aggressively at other dogs or children…it was amazing. I got compliment after compliment on both his appearance and his behavior. Today I took him to Paris Mountain State Park and he hiked 2.6 miles with me and yet again it amazed me how disciplined he was without his training collar, treats, nothing. He needed absolutely no correction whatsoever today and I was one proud momma.. 💓

Just got my boy Roman back from training with William Rathbone and WOW! What a difference! He is responsive to commands, disciplined and has such improved behavior around other dogs, etc.
SO many positives after only a short time. This training has given our family peace of mind and a wonderful family pet, and we could never put a price on that. If you are thinking of training your shepherd and/or getting some basic foundational instruction for your family pet we would HIGHLY recommend Rathbone Shepherd’s K9’s. They made the entire process super easy for us and we appreciate how professional, knowledgeable, caring and consistent they were with our pet. We couldn’t be more satisfied. 🦮❤️🙌🏼

I will not apologize for my pricing.

No small business should.

My pricing allows me to make a profit.

Which allows me to pay my bills.

Which also allows me to stay in business.

My pricing allows me to employ people.

Which allows them to pay their bills.

My pricing allows me to pay myself for the countless hours I work. I’m truly never “off the clock”.

My pricing keeps a roof over my head and food on my table.

I own a small business. One where the CEO knows your name and truly cares about you.

I am not Walmart (a 500 billion dollar company). I’m unable to provide things at the “lowest price”, order millions of units, and still stay in business.

Im not the “cheapest”. I’m also not “the most expensive”.

My pricing is what it is to allow this small business to keep going which allows me to keep making a positive impact.

I will not apologize for my pricing because I shouldn't.

No small business should.

Thanks for the post inspiration Erica Bevill

Dog Trainer and German Shepherd Breeder

cpRathbone Kennels, An Unordinary Trainer

What do you do when you can’t find a trainer with the ethics you like? You could take matters into your own hands like William Rathbone and become an unordinary dog trainer.

William Rathbone, Bill, has been training his own dogs and others for ten years. After completing dog obedience trainer/instructor classes through Penn Foster, Bill studied different methods from various trainers and made them this own. With his wife, Summer, who’s studying to be a veterinarian technician, and their children, Bill trains dogs at his home in Townville.

Obedience is the base of everything, the foundation for any future training. Without, obedience, they cannot do anything else. It’s what makes a great companion. We use positive training with food and treats as a reward. We also use an e-collar for the more problem dogs we have had.

Along with his six German Shepherds and a small mixed breed, the Rathbone family helps other families by training and boarding.

We can train you dog to be more obedient

around the house. Socialization with children and other animals is important, and controlling your companion for the many aspects of daily life. My children help so your dog isn’t dependent on one person for training.

Communication is key to Bill when he is training a family’s companion. He updates the family many times throughout the process by calling or sending pictures. After a week with the dog, he meets with the family to encourage them to participate with the training.

Bill and Summer teach their children compassion and patience, and each of them benefits from the rewards.

It makes me feel good that the dog can be with the family instead of ending up in a bad situation. We strive to see a happy pet and happy pet parents. We enjoy watching the owner put forth an effort to train their dog and the successful interaction with their furry family member.

Bill’s training is on-going. He offers follow up sessions, either at his home or the owners home. Like children, dogs like to test. They often return home and slip back into bad habits. Bill encourages communication and is available for extra sessions or simply a phone call to encourage consistency.

Bill isn’t an ordinary trainer. He encourages communication, patience, and consistency.

Bill trains mostly German Shepherds but is open is all breeds.

He likes a challenge, like my new chocolate puppy Maybelle, whom is helped become wonderful family member.

Bill also offers personal protection training.
