I'm a bit late commenting on this, (don't get much spare time to spend online!) but can't let it pass - I wrote to Bayer expressing my disappointment that they should be linked with CM - hopefully all you VN's will have seen the official statement from the Veterinary Behaviourists body in North America regarding this and hopefully not too many of you are taken in by his charisma and screen presence, or maybe I will stir up a hornets nest when I say THIS MAN IS A HACK! He uses negative, coercive , fear and punishment-based training methods and is still promoting outdated thories of Dominance, and rank reduction therapy. TV has yet again set the advancement of public understanding of dog behaviour back twenty years.........Grrrr!
