I looked into Always Faithful when I thought I wanted to make dog training profitable. THERE ARE MAJOR RED FLAGS. I was immediately sus when they offered no information for their training regiment. I was further concerned when I found that the only training i would receive to train dogs would be for a few days from one of their experts. This was pretty funny because there were NO certifications listed for these experts that were from any of the established dog training organizations that hold trainers accountable by making sure theyre using the most humane techniques. In fact, Im pretty sure the ones i saw were made up. THEY DO NOT TEACH HUMANE TRAINING TECHNIQUES. When questioned, theyre trained to bully potential franchise buyers, just like they do with the dogs that they train, into compliance because theyre the only ones that really know how it works and that Ill find out AFTER I commit to BUYING the franchise. WHAT! Not only is this a major safety concern, but IS there even ANY training material? Any reputable training program has a whole curriculum, and while it makes sense to not share this for free, they will gladly give you an outline or at least a syllabus of their programs offered. It was obvious that they were out for my money, had no material to offer for the actual dog training part (which IS the business right??), and the training they are teaching is quite frankly barbaric and outdated compared to modern day training from legitimate organizations. Overall, its companies like this that give dog training a bad reputation because theyre not actually teaching you how to be a dog trainer- theyre just teaching you how to hire entree level employees to intimidate dogs into thinking that theyre the pack leader (which if they were by any means legit, theyd know how inaccurate that is to begin with). BE WARNED POTENTIAL BUYERS THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING FOR YOU AND DOG OWNERS DO NOT HAVE THESE PEOPLE TRAIN YOUR DOG, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOVE THEM.
