I'm merely curious as to why spray bottle is unacceptable, but a prong or choke or a shock isn't. My point is they are ALL aversive methods, yet it seems oddly hypocritical to say that a dog couldn't possibly learn from a spray bottle...when even more averse methods are applauded almost constantly around here. Why is that?
Or would you rather just keep calling me dramatic in order to avoid answering the question?
Oh, never mind. Don't bother. It's easier for some people to poo poo other people's degrees and accomplishments than to it is to further their own educations, eh.

Calin-this is clearly an off topic question....We live pretty close and I'm just wondering what trainer you are currently using with those credentials.

I'm not really sure about the rules on posting names of breeders/trainers on this board. Are we allowed to post our email address? If so, I'll be more than willing to exchange email addresses and give you that information privately.
