Michael Ellis or Tom Rose?

hi newb speaking here, sometimes newbs come in with less built in biases n loyalties. i think you could learn a lot by first studying all the big names with different styles n try n understand why they have adopted certain methods that work for them, lets face it there is more than one way to get a result.

secondly you have to understand yourself n pick a style that suits your personality, timing, coordination etc otherwise it just won't work. you also have to look at what you are prepared to do to get a result eg there are a lot of good trainers that use e-collars straight up just to do basic pet training with young dogs - that would never suit me so i am not interetsed in knowing what they know regardless of the results. certainly pays to try n understand their position if if you don't like it.

i have never titled a dog n now that i have seen it all i am not that interested in it but its all ood learning n can only increase your understanding n better yr realtionship with yr dog regardless of whatever it is yr are training for, eg particular sport, pet etc.

out of all the tapes i watched i will be sticking with ME style mainly because i like the guys attitude and laid back character.
