| Well, Jean, in my opinion, if you won't stick up for your dog, you don't deserve to have him. I'd say you delayed a bit but at least you got there.
Being a K9 handler does not make someone a trainer. They are two entirely different things and these guys are trying to capitalize on their K9 designations as a business opportunity. I know several K9 handlers and they are not trainers and don't pretend to be. I also know one who is a trainer and trains and titles his own dogs. He does not train department dogs and I'm sure these guys don't either.
Next time you talk to a trainer ask them about their personal dogs and what titles they have put on them. |
