Dog Health Questions: Michael Ellis school of dog training, thinking of taking some of his courses?

Now from what I understand, he's one of the best. Has anyone on here taken any of his courses? I was looking into the protection theory and practice.

I've been to 3 or 4 Mike Ellis seminars. He's intelligent, notices little things, funny, and cusses a lot, right up my alley aye?

His protection theory is spot on...I've never heard him say anything anybody who works dogs would disagree with (except the fact he's not all gung-ho with the -push a dog to the limits and if it cracks it was a "bad" dog- theorists).

I'd say take them! I went to more than one of his seminars for a reason! He helped me a ton with targeting and teaching a driving bite.
