Could not guarantee I could find one for you. Haven't even looked. However to prove a point I will find one for you. What about a signed decleration as trainers I know are not on the web?
I grew up in a rural area with rural neighbours who had working dogs. Farm owners who have carried down traditions etc. knowledge is passed around ' on the grapevine' A qualified trainer was considered a last resort. Simply because you had to know how to handle a dog. Your lively hood was dependant on it. Blue cattle dogs were the most common. Also more likely to bite someone than a rottie but that another story

Thanks for pointing this out. Maybe no dog requires this technique. However thats what we use and it has always worked very well for us.
