This guy's full of crud. You can tell he's not for real when you read the part that says "no matter how dumb your dog is"...people like this make me sick. It's such a scam...

kparx · 03-15-2005, 07:21 PM

yeah, deffinately a scam!

PitBullie09 · 03-15-2005, 08:42 PM

Yeah full of crud alright. Just trying to get some money.

Purr · 03-15-2005, 08:44 PM

People will do absolutley anything for money. Despicable.

If I consulted a trainer and they referred to dogs as "dumb" I would be out of there as fast as I could.. It sounds like a scam to me.

Yep sounds like a scam! Kinda reminds me of one of those weight loss programs where you just take a pill and loose weight. Gotta work at it just like training your dog.

Yes, Sunny, that's exactly what it's like; take a pill and voila'! Your dog is trained...OMG. Some people...

Whilst I agree it looks like one of those weightloss scams... I didn't read anything that sounded bad (although I got bored towards the end of it, so I may have missed something). It's worded so that your average dog owner (not "dog-people"... just your average dumb owner) can read and relate to it. People call their dogs 'dumb' all the time, so it makes sense (to me) that when advertising a book and course about dog training you would try to convince owners of dogs that are considered 'dumb' that they too can benefit from it.

Of course, having said that.. I wouldn't buy it. LOL

Cass.

Ok, yeah, Cass, I see what you're saying. I didn't like the "one red cent" comment...it seemed to go in conjuction with the "your dog will learn, but it could take months" comment. Like, he's going to tell you that your dog will get it, but that you used his method, and now you have to write him a check...I dunno...I just didn't like him, I guess.
