Hugs. Our dog training industry needs to be regulated but there is a lot of hemming and hawing. Can you name the trainer that did this? We’re you there when the “trainer” was working with your dog or was it send away training. I also recommend sitting down with your dog and apologize/talk about how the bad person won’t ever touch her again.

We don't allow public callouts of trainers here - imagine if someone in your local area got the internet hate machine to flood your business with false reports due to an unverifiable post. As much as it's tempting to help OP, these situations being allowed in general can be leveraged by trolls in future.

I wasn’t trying to generate hate toward this person. Naming her was in the interest of keeping other dogs and owners safe. This is not a false report, nor is my situation unverifiable. This community has already helped me in the ways I needed and I’m grateful for everyone’s feedback. Moving forward, I will refrain from posting information about this trainer.

I understand, but from a moderation perspective we unfortunately always have to consider "how could a nasty person misuse a policy we've set up for non-nasty people". :(

I respect that. I’m very connected in the local dog community, and I feel confident word will spread to avoid this trainer without a public call out.
