Food-Bribery dog trainers (aka Positive
Reinforcement, Operant Conditioning dog trainers) need to call us and put up
$5,000 or more to back up their claims by engaging us in a dog training contest
to prove to an independent panel of judges that what they do does in-fact work.
We have contacted all their Food-Bribery gurus such as Dr. Ian
Dunbar, Patricia McConnell, PhD, Trish King, Jean Donaldson, Sue Sternberg, and
Angie Neal of 4 Paws University in Sacramento and they all refused to put up
money to back their purported claims.
We don't blame
them for not accepting our challenge because no one likes to lose $5,000 or
more and be exposed as a fraud. The rules to our challenge include having the
news media present and us retaining rights to the videotaping of the
contest.
