I'm sure you've seen this in the news. This is absolutely despicable. I've dedicated my entire life to this career field. My mother spent a majority of My life in the veterinary field. I was raised to be an animal lover. How could a training company do this?? This whole force-free purely positive science-based training crap has no place in our modern society. This puts a black eye on all the amazing trainers out there. As an animal lover, dog owner, and trainer I cannot condone this type of behavior. I hope they go to prison for the rest of their life.
