Beware of Unqualified Trainers

I can't believe the internet ate my post!  It was over 1000 words long and it's just gone.

Summary: don't be fooled by "certified master trainers" who have had 3 month of training.  I have the same credentials as the teachers of the schools they went to, but I have no fancy words to go with my name.  Only 45 years of service to the dog industry and a desire to keep learning.  I've been a Canadian Kennel Club Member in good standing for 30 years and am a Professional Member of the Canadian Association of Professional Pet Dog Trainers.  But no fancy name.  Just Mary Ann
