Adventures in Doggie Daycare

I came across this show for the first time today while channel surfing and could not have been more disappointed! The way the dogs were "trained" and treated while in the care of the daycare staff, and especially their "trainer" and "behaviorist" were terribly upsetting. As someone who has worked with dogs, and done a *lot* of training with dogs from all backgrounds, I was upset to see them using old school methods that have been proven to not be nearly as effective as more humane methods. There is certainly no need for "corrections" and the use of chain and prong collars on dogs that could very easily be trained and work without all the negativity. And on top of that, they let a dog who continuously started fights with other dogs back into daycare. This is not only irresponsible, but dangerous! I will highly discourage people to not watch this show, and hope that it does not get a second season. I only hope better, and more positive shows and treatment of our best friends will become more prominent soon.

Please see my web site at www.floaapetdishes.com to promote my eco-friendly pet dishes. These would be great for day care situations.

Thanks,
