anyone who is following the advice of a trainer that has never seen their dog or who has never actually spoken to that trainer for issues like fear aggression is not thinking rationally. Hands on experience is what makes a trainer a trainer...

You would think people would know that dogs need exercise and walking, but a shocking number do not and lots of people are just too darn lazy.
I think he's very knowledgeable about many dog behaviors, and handles things like food aggression, bolting out the door, barking and pulling very nicely and has probably helped a lot of dogs keep their homes.
I find other things he does to be dangerous, like using that feral dog as a therapy dog in the old age home and telling that couple that their two female pit bulls could live in harmony.

Anyways, I also want to mention that I despise his "all dogs belong in the dog pack" mentality b/c I guarantee you, no matter how much of an alpha I am, I would have fewer dogs in my pack if I let them run loose (some of mine live for a good tussle) & God knows I believe in euthanasia but he doesn't seem to. And by turning a "blind eye", he puts dogs back into situations where they will eventually maul someone. As a very knowledgable person on another board stated, he creates very dangerous situations & even encourages them which is NOT a good thing.
