First, I\u2019d like<br \/>\nto say that my Youtube channel is a wonderful daily source of education, reassurance,<br \/>\nguidance, and encouragement to both my current clients and the dog owning public<br \/>\nwith many video examples demonstrating my successful training methods. The goal<br \/>\nin doing so is to ultimately teach as many people as possible how to deepen their bond<br \/>\nand understanding with their dogs, allowing them to live in peace and harmony in the<br \/>\nreal world. I\u2019d also like to mention that that just after this story aired, my business was<br \/>\nflooded with new clients. Business has in fact, been the busiest it\u2019s ever been in the past<br \/>\nten years, so in a way I\u2019m filled with gratitude, yet, I would still like to finally get to the<br \/>\nbottom of this here and now.<\/p>\n<p>I have clients come to me on a constant basis, some crying and all frustrated. I hear the<br \/>\nsame stories each week; stories of failure, heartbreak, and near loss from people at the<br \/>\nend of their rope, desperate for a solution to their dog\u2019s undesirable behavior. Many of<br \/>\nthese folks had invested a tremendous amount of time and money using other trainers<br \/>\nenforcing methods such as treats, clickers, excited voices, excessive praise, and even<br \/>\nmedication that never even touched their dogs\u2019 behavior issues. Some people even found<br \/>\ntheir dog more excitable and even harder to live with, after trying many, if not all of the<br \/>\nlargely unsuccessful training tactics commonly used by trainers all over the country.<\/p>\n<p>A large percentage of the dogs I work with on a regular basis would\u2019ve been put to death<br \/>\nbecause other trainers would either not take them, or would simply give up after only a<br \/>\nfew sessions, proclaiming the dog as \u201cuntrainable\u201d, \u201cunmanageable\u201d or \u201cunadoptable\u201d. In<br \/>\nmy opinion, these words mean, \u201cundeserving of life\u201d, and that is undoubtedly the most<br \/>\ninhumane and cruel fate of all. All dogs deserve another chance to learn, and all dogs<br \/>\ndeserve a right to live. I will work with any dog out there, putting not only myself, but<br \/>\nalso my family at risk until the dog is calm and balanced, because ninety percent of the<br \/>\ntime, my training tactics work, and if for some reason they don\u2019t, I will keep working<br \/>\nto try and find a solution that will. When it comes down to dog training, it\u2019s not about<br \/>\ncredentials, resumes, or prestigious schools, but rather about actually getting out there<br \/>\nand working with dogs whether they\u2019re gentle and calm or in a highly agitated and<br \/>\naggressive state.<\/p>\n<p>Prong collars are safe, humane, and effective. Out of the thousands of dogs I\u2019ve used<br \/>\nprongs on, I\u2019ve not once, seen an injury or broken skin due to their use. If you would like<br \/>\nto read more about prong collars specifically, check out one of my previous blog posts<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M3iczULPcdE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You see, I believe in dogs. I believe in dogs whether they are eager two- month- old<br \/>\npuppies or highly aggressive dogs with extensive bite histories. I believe in their<br \/>\nintelligence, their ability to listen, their need for guidance, and mostly, I believe in every<br \/>\ndog\u2019s true potential and future. I want each dog I work with to have the best possible<br \/>\noutcome: a life of structure and fulfillment, his owner\u2019s confidence, and the luxury of<br \/>\nbeing involved with his family in ways the family may have never imagined possible. I<br \/>\nwant the relationship between human and dog to transform onto an entirely new level so<br \/>\nboth can benefit from each other for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Some may not agree with my methods due to being misinformed, or maybe don\u2019t<br \/>\nunderstand how and why these methods work, and that\u2019s fine, because the outcome of my<br \/>\nmethods shows in my results. The results speak volumes in my clients\u2019 lives, their dogs\u2019<br \/>\nlives, and both of their lives intertwined. This isn\u2019t just about real world training so your<br \/>\ndog can stay in a command, but also about using logic and compassion to save lives in a<br \/>\ntime when millions of dogs need our leadership and we must unite and help one another<br \/>\nas a nation to give each dog the best life possible. With all that they give us, it\u2019s the least<br \/>\nwe can do for them.<\/p>\n<p>There will be more to come on this important topic.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions, and want to speak to professional dog trainers in Rhode Island,<br \/>\nplease contact <a href=\"\/\">dog trainer<\/a> Jeff Gellman at 401.527.6354.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Gellman<br \/>\nSolid K9 Training Providence, RI (401) 527-6354<\/p>\n<p>You should follow me on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/solidk9training\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Official Response to Channel 10\u2019s News Story &#8211; Part 1 By Jeff Gellman of Solid K9 Training.
