Dog Whisperer Arrested!!

ORIGINAL: rolenta

I think it's hilarious that she thinks people have a problem with her training methods because of her race.  

 To me,the sign of a weak minded individual.

 I don't care if your black,white,yellow ,purple or Canadian,this type of thing is just insane.

This nut has been giving trainers a bad name for a number of years now.  Ami Moore used to be a member on this site...havn't seen her around in a while...must be to busy beating on poor innocent pups.
 
Anyway, I wanted to shed some light on the technique she was using with the collar strapped around the dogs midsection.  This stems from very old SchH, Ringsport, and/or PSA methods.  There are some dogs with such intense drives that they are impossible to get off of a bite sleeve or bite suit.  Now, in most normal situations we could slip the suit or the sleeve to the dog and all is well, but if something goes wrong and we can't pry the suit of then steps must be taken to protect the decoy. Occasionally a dog will miss the pocket and get a grip that is around the arm or catches some skin.  In those situations you have to be able to free the decoy, and the way that happens is to administer an intense shock to the dog.
 
This is NOT a training method.  It WAS used to protect decoys back in the days of table training, and working dogs without obedience.
 
This woman should be prosecuted to the fullest estent of the law.  I really hope they punish her severely.
 

Good Grief! I'm glad those people reported her the scary thing though is how many are doing the same thing but not out in the open.[:@]

It's funny that she complained about Pet Smarts positive reinforcement methods.  
But Moore took issue with PetSmart's policy of using only positive-reinforcement techniques. "It's like the same problem with badly behaved children in restaurants,” Moore said. "Everybody's afraid to say, 'No, you can't do that' because no one wants to be mean. So now we've got all these badly behaved kids and badly behaved dogs running around, and everyone wonders, How did this happen?”

Joey took an obedience class at Pet Smart.  The word "no" was used, along with "good boy."  And the treats were only used at the first few weeks of training, after that it was "goo boy."

The most sad thing about all of this is, she will change her training method slightly, do what she thinks is a good job, get off with maybe a fine, and start over doing it her way somewhere else!  That was a terrifying article and yes, I read it all, I don't own any shock collars, but I may buy one just to keep on hand if she moves to my area!

I saw this yesterday. It's absolutely sick. Did you see what she said about clickers on the philosophy page?!

that cookie or clicker training causes fear and confusion when a dog is being trained.

How uneducated...

She's no "dog whisperer" and Cesar doesn't hold a candle to her methods lmao...

I don't even know what to say.[:'(][:'(][:'(]
 
I did notice that while her site said she'd put titles on dogs, it didn't elaborate what titles and what types of dogs.  I'm always happy to tell people what titles and what breeds. 

I am sure the titles she put on her dogs were as follows..

"untrainable"

"needs to be PTS"

"Dumb Dog"

"Stupid little *%*$@#$"

Stupid little *%*$@#$"

 
That one should be her name badge.
 

"How terribly, tragically SAD to own a dog
that spends all of it's energy;every moment of it's existence:
every minute of it's day; every fiber of it's being, trying to get away from YOU."
 Ami Moore the Dog Whisperer

Um, is that why my dogs will follow me around the house?  Because they're trying to get away from me?  I dunna get it....

Oh my god.  That disgusts me.  I was only able to read about half of it.  In fact, Cesar's methods are much better than that.

What the first person described in the first paragraph I would have called the cops on. That is extreme misuse of an e-collar IMO.
To reply to other - as sick as it is (strapping the e-collar to a dogs genitals) it isn't all that uncommon, especially in the Schutzhund world, though those who practice that form of training tend to keep it hushed. I never do anything to my dogs unless I try it on myself first, I'm not about to strap an e-collar where the sun don't shine! I do however use remote control e-collars when necessary (last resort usually) though only how they are intended to be used & when training is done for the day the collar comes off.
I didn't read past the genital shock, didn't need to, I'm glad she was arrested.

this is why i learned how to train dogs myself.....http://www.uwsp.edu/psych/dog/LA/karlhoff.htm

This woman is both stupid and inherently cruel. In addition to being banned from all contact with dogs, I do hope CM sues for trade name infringement. I'm sick about the idea of her profiting from her mistreatment of animals.

Wow, that's even insulting to Ceasar Milan... andyone want to take that challenge?
