Look Out Dog People!!

[Pattymac]

Brad Pattison is soon going to be 'unleashing' a bunch of people trained by him to be dog trainers in Ontario!! Scary isn't it!?!?!? Not only is he doing this to 16 people in Toronto but he plans to come back to Ontario - Ottawa area in the fall to hold another 'school' What's really scary is 16 people paid him 6000.00 for 6 weeks and only 3 days per week for the training!! Then they're free to go out in public and try to start 'training' dogs for people who don't know any better!

Six weeks for a worthless piece of paper, a lifetime of misinformation and a long legacy of abused dogs. No wonder he only attracts people who have next to no experience with dogs.

Wow, wish it was that easy. I've been attending school for a year now. If I apprentice with my mentor trainer then that will be another year.
It will be a shame to see how many dogs are ruined by unexperienced trainers.
Like the guy that ruined conner, it only took one "stupid" person to ruin my dog for months and months. He is still a work in progress. This guy also, I feel, fell into that dominance, pushy type of training.
My mentor even says that given his temperment test would have been perfect if not for that pushy guy.
She's says she has many people come to her with similar cases.

About a year ago I would've fallen for his bs..scary eh? FortunatelY I managed to find a trainer I really like and who knows what he's doing.

Dominance training?!? How can anyone call what that idiot does "training"?!?! Its abuse. The video I saw of him "Training" dogs (and I emphasize the quotations), I got really peeved and was upset for a couple days, I would absolutely give him a peice of my mind if he ever set food anywhere near So Cal!:mad:
