Dog Health Questions: Has anyone tried Don Sullivan's The Pefect Dog Training System?

I am wondering if it is really as good as it is made out to be in the infomercial.

The Three Dog Training Mistakes You Should Avoid

Recommended Answer:
I watched the infomercial, and it's one that started to rub me the wrong way. I mean, he says that feeding treats to dogs encourages aggressive behavior? Many behaviorists have proven that wrong, and most trainers will use treats at some point. I'm not saying treats should be used exclusively, all the time, or anything like that, but no treats because they cause aggression???

The pinch collar bothers me, I saw several "testimonials" where the people leave the collars on the dogs 24/7, which means that the dog is not well trained without the collar. Pinch collars shouldn't be left on except during training periods.

And the leashes honestly look like something I could rig together for a couple of bucks.

Not to mention, from watching the infomercial, it looked very much like the testimonials were from people who had HIM come out and train their dogs... not that did it by themselves from his program. This is a HUGE difference. If I came to your house and worked with your dog the results would be faster and more complete than if I told you over a phone what to do. I have the training and would recognize things that on the phone you might not even see, and that would adjust the way I dealt with the dog and things would move faster. I would have preferred to see dogs who he never touched or worked with in the infomercial, where the people only used the videos and such.

To me, I wouldn't spend the money.

Helpful Tips on Dog Training

• I saw the infomercial. My concern is he never praises a dog in the infomercial. He also never shows his style of pinch collar. I have a pic of it and I'd rather go with a conventional prong collar if the dog needs a correctional collar.
