I want to be clear right out of the gate here: We have still worked with dog training professionals. We plan to continue working with professionals. Professionals are great!
But we've also had several experiences — especially in my early days of dog ownership — that put a sour taste in my mouth. I've been reflecting on them lately as I think about how dog trainers can best serve their clients (both pets and people) and what we owners need to feel safe.
