Dr. Ian Dunbar- have you heard about him?

I've been searching youtube for some good tips how to stop Debo jumpping up at people when they come to visit and I came across this guy. And I do like him a lot. What do you think?

I'm not a big fan of him, but I wouldn't say he's a terrible person or anything. I'd put more faith in him than I would in somebody like Cesar Milan, though.

On that video he makes sense.

Yes, i've heard of him, not the biggest fan but he's far from the worst mind

Can you explain why you don't like him?

frankly i don't like many if any 'trainers', behaviorists or experts. It's one reason i refuse to use one, so he falls into that category.

But like Eleanor said he's alot better then CM and that counts for something

Well he's a lot better than CM.

yep that's what i said

Definitely better than Milan To be honest, I don't know a great deal about him, but I respect that he's put a lot of research into dog behaviour and has helped a lot of dogs.

Oh a blast from the past! I'm old enough to remember Dr Ian Dunbar's dog training series on the telly about 30 years or so ago. He was a seriously hot young man with an annoying mid-Atlantic accent whose methods were however (as far as I can recall) a refreshing antidote to the other dog training guru who was on the telly about the same time (Barbara Woodhouse, she of the jerk the choke chain and shrill voice).

I've watched the vid you've put up Jola and generally I think his assessment of why some dogs are aggressive towards other dogs and how to treat it is generally helpful - for some dogs.

Yep, same here! Age has its priveledges!

I don't much like him, but he has better views on training than CM.
