We did our best to keep his tail from going between his legs in an attempt to help him snap out of his negative state of mind.

Have these people ANY idea about dogs at all?

It is terrible that someone is putting this for all to see as though it is something to be proud of.

I didnt read all of the article.... I got to the bit where if he was told off he would pee.
Im no behaviourist or trainer, but reading the first part of this article i would say the dog is frightened.

qualified dog trainer?

you have linked to an American site selling CM products so you are in fact promoting the man.

There are no qualifications to be a dog trainer. Most of the TOP dog trainers in the UK have nothing after their name except a full stop!

I dont know if she is qualified or not, but IMHO is one of the best trainers I have ever come across, has helped one of mine.

I merely posted it to highlight the wrongness of the methods used, as I was disgusted by them.

Did you watch the videos? Dog was sitting down and lying down and fighting the leash and they just kept jerking at it and telling it to come on, get up and all that.
