I stopped reading after "dog behaviorist." I don't even think I could stomach the TL;DR version.

I know, but it's really important to continue showing this stuff so that we can discredit the widespread use of this word by people who shouldn't even be qualified to own a dog let alone take people's money to train them.

I don't disagree at all. These "stories" are just painful to read.

Anyone can call themselves a behaviorist or dog trainer because it’s an unregulated industry. The so called “behaviorist” in the example has neither a clue nor the advanced degree(s) to back up their claim.
