All I can say is "WHO CARES?" I gave up a long time caring what the modern animal rights activist thought of what I do. I will stand by my personal record as well as the record of those here for the amount of dogs and handlers/owners who we have help to fix somtimes serious behavioral problems. If they want to talk animal rights them look at the number of dogs who would have found their way to the local animal shelter or worse if not for the advice given on this board.

I always laugh when I hear the term "abusive training technique". If this does not lend itself to "subjective judgements" then I do not know what does. What one person calls abusive another will call too soft, weak or what ever. Others still may see us all as abusive for doing any training with the dogs at all, instead of just letting them run free and enjoy themselves with no rules. But we all know the reality of such a situation.

I concur with Mick.
