Anyone heard of this guy?

Has anyone heard of Dean Rankin or know anything about his training
techniques? I got his name in an email from a friend and am curious about
more information. Thanks in advance.

Mr Bean...

Heard, bought his revelations and tried ask just one question, he's
never answered.

Avoid like a plague!

own dog not to attack innocent defenseless dumb
critters LIKE YOUR MOMMA despite his shock collar
and perfect come command?:

Won't make any difference.

I've been using an e-collar with my JRT, and it's
worked wonders for his recall. But the one time
he bolted after something small and furry, he paid
no attention to the collar until after he'd brought
it to bay.

Sometimes, humans shouldn't back off.

Case in point:

I have two chairs in front of the TV. I usually sit in
one when I'm watching, and my Bear often sits int it when
I am not.

My mother was over, and we'd both grabbed plates of whatever
and headed in to watch TV. I was first, and Bear was in my chair.

As soon as he saw me, he hopped out and ran over and hopped
into the other chair. Without my saying a word.

When my mother approached the other chair, he growled.

This is not a situation where you want to back off.

He's growling to see if he can get away with it.

And if you let him, you're just setting
yourself up for future problems.

That said, I don't mean you should attack him, mess
about with "alpha rolls", grab his collar and pull

Les Hilliard...

That's kind of the feeling I had, thanks for confirming it for me
before I bought anything.

him off, etc. Just tell him to get off the damned
chair, and make sure he complies.
