dog trainer

Has anyone ever heard of some trainer named Don Sullivan? I attempted to look up his methods, but all I can find is are places to "buy his secrets of a perfect dog".

Nope, and I don't be trusting 'secrets' you have to pay for either.. ugh. Do people ever actually DO that. Mmmm, I might do an e-book on 'secrets of getting thin, making a million and training your dog - in two days'... riches here i come!

Sorry that was no use whatsoever, I will do some googling too, but I very much suspect - scam.

I've come across this guy's ads on the internet before. He's very SELL SELL SELL! I don't have an issue with trainers writing and selling books. I have an issue with people claiming to be trainers and saying, "Buy my book to find out what I'm about." From what I've seen on the internet, it looks like he may use a lot of training methods based on dominance theory. I haven't heard this from him. I've heard this from others who bought his book and posted their thoughts online.

this is sorta what I thought, just thought I would ask if anyone had any real experience with this guy. Thanks

Just done a search, it seems he becomes the dog's mother and disciplines dogs the same way

Ehhh I just read the common "dog myth's" section and I am very unpleased with it.
Everything is ".. and you can change this IF you buy these books!/.. IF you follow Don's methods!"

and according to him, you're dog should never defend itself if it is being attacked, it should be submissive..

[emmabeth]

Yeuch.. wonder if he submits when being attacked.. bet he wouldnt think that was reasonable then!

Had someone in, with a little terrier mix dog, that for the last 3 years, has been what I call a "giggly wiggly" Maybe not really obedient But so loving and happy it just isn't that big of a deal. Came in and I thought the dog was there because it was sick, it was an "android dog" I asked what was wrong, her owner began to rave about the training dvd's she had gotten, I personally did not like what I saw, but I did not want to blame the training course just yet, as sometimes people can do things and not tell you what they have been up to So, now the truly ghastley part of all of this is that she has loaned her dvd's to all of her friends and family members
