Name: Kim Campbell on Sep 10, 2012Comments: Training a dog using force, intimidation, and fear is not accepted as a humane practice. Why would a "Humane Society" support them? There is really no excuse for not being educated on the potential fall out of such methods.Flag

Name: Deborah Specht on Sep 10, 2012Comments: Really? Yank a dog off it's feet by running while it;s leash is connected to your body? When did that kind of abuse become a "training method"? I dare you to try that with a horse, you;d get dragged to your death, or trampled to death. Of course, that would stop the "training sessions" real quickly , huh?Flag

Name: Silvia Jay on Sep 10, 2012Comments: In my opinion, Mr. Pattison's methods are entirely rooted in force and corrections. Leading behaviorists and organizations, including humane societies and veterinary colleges are against positive punishment training. Especially already distressed shelter dogs don't need someone who corrects them for expressing their distress.Flag

Comments: I do not believe a humane society should advocate striking a dog in the face, jerking a dog by it's lead, or running a dog into a tree to teach it. I believe a humane society should advocate clicker training and other positive methods for training dogs.Flag -

Name: Karen Quillen on Sep 10, 2012Comments: When we stop idolizing cruelty as he displays we may have a fighting chance of ending abuse. Why would you want to cause more fear to a dog who is already compromised by living in a shelter?Flag

Name: Vicky O'connor on Sep 10, 2012Comments: We have learned so much now, and there is no need for any force or corrections, and in fact, they result, down the road, in poorer working dogs, and hurt those that use these methods as well.Flag

Name: Angela Norton on Sep 10, 2012Comments: Pattison's methods are inhumane. There are kinder, more effective ways of training dogs than what he espouses. I would suggest finding a qualified force-free dog trainer to do a seminar instead.Flag

Name: Pat Miller on Sep 10, 2012Comments: This man epitomizes old-fashioned training that uses pain, fear and coercion to force dogs into submission. Thanks to the emergence of science-based positive reinforcement training we now recognize that such methods are abusive and unnecessary. I urge you to reconsider your unfortunate choice to have him speak on behalf of your shelter.Flag
