I am researching trainers and I'm really starting to doubt the credibility of trainers, alot of them seem they took a 2 month course (I'VE SEEN TONS ADVERTISED, EVEN IN MY AREA). It's really alarming as they're starting to seem like doctors (my son had a knee tear and had it misdiagnosed for a year and he kept requesting an mri and said it was a meniscus tear and doctors kept telling him it was a syndrome they used as a catchall diagnosis to not have to do anything further).
What is the credibility of trainers? The only people I'd trust training a GSD I own would be actual Farmers who own GSDs, military recruits who work with GSDs/Malinois, Schutzhund associated people, or a well trained GSD who was used in retraining dogs.
Are petsmart trainers any good? What about trainers who advertise they work with all breeds?
If you were in a situation with a problematic dog, would you go to a trainer or someone who has grown up with the breed for decades/years?
