Okay, I can tell you for a fact I'm gonna get passionate in this video because I've been wanting to make this for a while and I don't like making videos like this, but this is a message to dog trainers. So if you're not a dog trainer, keep scrolling. Now, hello dog trainer, my name is Max. If we have a little look at your social media account right now, there's most probably only 4 videos on there that have been recycled just thousands of times and people think that you are genuinely a fantastic dog trainer. and that is recall training tips, loose lead walking training tips, setting boundaries tips, getting dogs to stop doing stuff like barking, and videos that aren't even educational. They're simply just controversial, so they get views and you keep making them. And that's it. That is so many dog trainers' pages. And that, if that is your Instagram account, TikTok account, you are the reason why there are so many dog parents out there that seriously believe if they just do more training, they will have a well-behaved dog. When actually what they don't realize is they are just managing their dog every day and not solving a thing. People cannot train out— people cannot phase out their training because they haven't solved a thing. The issues just keep coming back. People have no idea why their dog is misbehaving. People have no idea that their dog is struggling and feeling like shit every day. They just think they're naughty and they need training. So politely, fuck off. 'Cause it's soul destroying to see such incredible people trying to help their dog, pay money, follow tips, and get nowhere. 'Cause they're just micromanaging. And it's all your fault. So learn more. Stop recycling the same tips again and again and again.
