Wow, Maneater! I think that's the perfect example of the kind of trainers that need to be weeded out. Good thing you didn't listen to them! Holding and cradling a dog during a behavior that you don't want to continue is one of the main ways that a dog views as 'rewarding'. Good for you for following your gut on that one.

having serious issues with their dog, is seek out a reputable behaviorist, again research, ask for references...do the homework.

Amen to that!
