Dog Trainers

Why is there a bias against pro dog trainers on YA?

Every time I read a concerning question and I recommend pro training for the dog, it seems to get negative feedback?

To me on this topic you culd compare good trainers to good auto mechanics. There is a lot you can fix yourself, but it comes to the point where it would be more productive, and safer, to let a pro handle the problem.

Just wondering if anyone else notices this, or if I am wrong.

i have noticed this too.

maybe part of the issue is that just about anyone can become a certified dog trainer. in many places, you don't even have to be certified to be a dog trainer or to operate as one. thats the problem to me right there.

same as with handling horses, there are just as many dog trainers who use approaches that others find disagreeable and vice versa. in the end it seems to come down to whatever works, as each trainer - reputable or not, certified or not - have their own methods. nothign worng with having different methods - but then you see one "trainer" attacking the other because they cannot agree to disagree on what they feel are the correct methods. not everyone agrees or disagrees with the dog whisperer.

this lack of cohesion and continuity in the entire dog training circuit builds mistrust with dog owners who feel, myself included and i have worked with dog trainers and thousands of dogs - that you have a 50/50 shot at best getting reliable assistance, so in many cases, why bother...

the end result is another dog in the dog pound due to human ignorance.
