![]() No mention of vet checks - there are some dogs I have seen very obviously in pain. He recreates stressful and dangerous situations - no trainer would ever do that. ![]() He labels 90% of cases attention seeking and doesn't look at why they are causing issues (diet, exercise, mental stimulation). He almost always chooses dogs and breeds he can bully - very few terriers for example who will just stick their fingers up at you unless you make it worth their while (I know, I train them!) Always the easy ones which usually can be solved with some thought and positive reinforcement. ![]() He never takes on 'serious' cases like severe SA, predatory aggression, cat chasing etc. Dog training takes time, effort and consistency. To be fair to Graeme, this may well be the editing, however in my experience, there are no "quick fixes". The other thing is that it appears to be promoting "quick fixes". He may well have, but I couldn't find one if he has. I can't find any evidence that he has any qualification from a recognised agency. That kind of positive punishment (not positive in the sense that it is good, but positive in that it introduces something the dog doesn't like) has been scientifically proved to be detrimental to training. This is something the dog doesn't like (as pointed out in the episode), so has the potential to teach the dog that visitors are a bad thing which is the opposite of the desired outcome. In doing so, the dog will learn to hide its natural response, so you end up either with a lack of warning before something stronger happens, or a dog that displaces a behaviour to somewhere else.įor example, in one episode, he pushes a jumping labrador off balance. From my perspective, some of the things he does remove choice for the dog.
