!!! CONSUMER ALERT !!!
There are 5 Major Flaws in Val Masters' Training Theory:
1- Her whole class is based on food-bribery. If you don't have treats with you or not willing to give your dog treats for everything you can think of, you won't be allowed to join her class and she'll be out of her tricks.
2- Val Masters is more of a behavior consultant and NOT a dog trainer. She has a very poor training technique and it clearly shows with her own dog, or when you observe her graduation class. You obviousely will not see much difference in the dogs' training response and the owners' handling skills. Seeing is believing.
3- If her cookie training approach doesn't work for you or your dog, she will most likely label your dog as "un-trainable" or with genetic poor breeding disorder. Sometimes she'll impress you with big words such as, chemical imbalance.
4- All dogs are at least 10-15 steps away from one another and not allowed to socialize with each other at all. Even if your dog IS friendly, Val Masters believe there will be a dog fight.
Hmm.. aren't you attending her class to teach your dog to respond and focus around other dogs and even if they get close to you and your dog, you'll know what to do and what not to do?
5- Val Masters doesn't believe in humane use of different training tools, if and when a regular collar or a gentle leader doesn't do the job. So it's either her way or the highway.
There is more..
Val even forbids you in saying "NO"
to your dog. If you catch your pooch make a mistake, she says:
Forget about NO. You say it a lot anyway and your dog learned
to ignore it.
So instead she advises you to say: Eh-eh,
Oops, Gotcha or something in that nature. Let's be honest here
folks. Do you say NO more naturally or Eh-eh? How about
your husband, boyfriend, friends, vets, or the kids? Nobody will
remember Eh-eh.
We've trained thousands of dogs that respond to "NO"
and your dog is no different.
Bottom line, she believes after using treats
constantly and giving your dog those hot dogs just for being alive,
your dog will eventually listen and respond to you just as well,
anywhere and anytime.
Would you still work for someone once they
wean "you" off your paychecks?
Val Masters also Believes: if any dog trainer
guarantees their work with dog training, they don't know what
they are doing.
Don't take our word for it. Please investigate her for yourself and actually meet and observe Val's Classes in person.
