Master's Way Dog Training

So my experience with Rick was a little different then many here. He was highly recommended by a few people in the area I had met at the dog park. Unfortunately for me and my hound things didn't go as well as I had hoped. I was at fault for not asking more questions about the collar he uses how to use it, when to leave on and take off.etc. The first few lessons I tried to ask questions and bring up my concerns but I was told repeatedly nothing I asked would matter as long as I did what he said. Also I was told anything I had to ask didn't matter. I had no idea I should be leaving it on and off during the day so that my girl learned corrections were from me not the collar. My dogs throat and skin was rubbed very raw.!!! When I tried to ask about it I was told shes a thin skinned dog. to be clear the irritation was from the chain part of the collar and her loose skin on her throat constantly getting caught in it. also our new little puppy pulling on the collar chain. While walking her she would pull against it no matter what I did at hotel when she was around other dogs. she had been bit by one where we stay and was very anxious, something I tried to explain to Rick. Each lesson we scheduled I would debate whether to go back or not. I was very uncomfortable but I saw such good results from others. Sadly I would loose focus due to the too many relationship analogies and comparisons he gave. wish he spent more time talking about dogs then people.. I am sure Rick thinks we did not practice but due to our situation and being here only a short time I had to find places to work with her and believe me I honestly did on my days off and for a few minutes each night after work. Our last lesson we ended after a few minutes because every word out of his mouth was what I couldn't do with my dog........ Sadly my one big concern and the reason I was there was never addressed. Please ask questions of any dog trainer you use and make sure you observe how they train not just their dogs. Just a fair warning watch out for Rick and his apple throwing as a way to train the owner........he actually hit me with one of them on the back shoulder
