Man's Best Friend

If you want to help your dog in a positive way without causing pain, keep searching for a different obedience school Man's Best Friend advertises a positive affection-based style of training while aggressively using a choke chain collar
Be prepared before your ''free evaluation'' with Man's Best Friend! Our ''free evaluation'' cost us $1,and caused us heartache
Strong sales tactic - B.B., Trainer and Store Manager of the location in C***, TX, recommended the board-and-train obedience program as a solution for our Border CollieHe also insisted that we make our decision on the spot and sign the contract that day, stating that they had to process the papers one day before we brought the dog inThis is probably the tactic they use on all their clients
Non-refundable payment - They insist on a large deposit that is non refundableMake sure this is right for you before paying
No warranty or responsibility - They take no responsibility for anything that may happen with your dog and give vague answers regarding how much time they spend with the dog or what should be accomplishedOur dog came back not knowing the basic commands of heel, sit, stay
Use of choke chain collar - Their training method is cruel and painful to the dogIt is not at all the affection-based style of training they promise
At our request, B.Bshowed us the collar they use in their training (they kept referring to it as a training collar or a correction collar, but never as a choke chain collar, as they should)He explained that, when the dog moves suddenly, the collar makes a noise that startles the dogWe were naïve to believe his explanation and entrusted them with our dog
Then, after the two week period, we went to take our dog backWe watched a demonstration through an observation windowWe saw the trainer, T.C., drag the dog a few feet using the choke chain collarThe dog eventually started walkingHe also started coughingHe was coughing when we entered the room to get him and coughed for several days after coming home
During the 30-minute training we received that same day, prior to the above demonstration, T.Ctold us that we should intensify the reprimand in proportion to the dog's disobedience, by yanking the training collar on our dog's neck harder and harderIt was, he explained, the equivalent of a dog biting another dog on the neck in a dog pack
In spite of the initial denial, it didn't take us long to realize that we had allowed ourselves to be deceivedWe had paid $1,for the kind of training that we DIDN'T want
We did some online research at home and found out the so called "training collar" they use is listed as a choke chain collar on the American Humane Society website
A choke chain collar falls in the category of aversive training collars
The following is stated about choke chain collars on the Humane Society website:
''There is no way to control how much the choke chain tightens, so it's possible to choke or strangle your dogIt can also cause other problems, too, such as injuries to the trachea and esophagus, injuries to blood vessels in the eyes, neck sprains, nerve damage, fainting, transient paralysis, and even death
It is best for your dog if you avoid using a choke chainMore humane collars and good obedience training should make it unnecessary to resort to this aversive collar.''
