Thank you to those of you who have spoken up with your opinions in my comments sections.
It is with discussion and openness that we can hear all sides and come to further our own knowledge.
A couple of responses I must make.
1. As I said it's not that he didn't go to a university that many dog trainers have a problem with. It's that he won't even look at the option of changing his techniques as new and better ones have come about. Do you want your doctor to have this attitude. Well it work a hundred years ago so I'm sticking to it.
2. Please stop assuming I haven't watched his shows. I have watched his shows. With my trained eye I see how stressed and overwhelmed some of the dogs he's working with are. The concept that exercising the dog into submission seems a little crazy. I probably couldn't fight off another person after running a marathon. But I sure would fight them off later when the opportunity presents itself. That why you hear of dogs attacking their owners. They are fed up with being forced around.
3. I'm not "one of those trainers who give up on those dogs." Look further down and see one I have for adoption right now. Crumpet would love to go to a caring patience home.

BUT THAT'S HIS POINT! EXERCISE YOUR DOG FIRST AND FOREMOST. EVERYDAY! EXERCISE, DISCIPLINE, AFFECTION! WALK YOUR DOG.
IF YOUR DOG IS EXERCISED PROPERLY (NOT JUST LET OUT INTO A BIG YARD TO RUN AROUND IN), THEN MOST BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS WILL DIMINISH.
PENT UP DOGS WILL HAVE BAD BEHAVIOR.
