If anyone is looking for a dog trainer in Louisville, KY, be aware of a trainer named Martin Richling. I have set in on one of his classes, and this guy is totally out of his mind !! Whatever you do, don't ever be late for training classes because he totally freaks out yelling & screaming at you !! Mr. Richling thinks he is the smartest dog trainer in the world, and he constantly lets you know it, so much that he says that his training is where dogs are trained correctly. If you believe in dragging your dog cutting off their air, or hitting them with a flexible plastic stick as the best training in the world, then you don't need to own a dog. Mr. Richling clients are totally brain washed because they don't know any better. Mr. Richling trains your dog as if it is going into war or is going to be used as a police or military dog.
Here is an article written by Mr. Richling: A Trainer From Time Past", he talks about beating a dog with a heavy switch until it gets cuts and shows submission: "The switch should be employed until the
animal submits and his will to resist, and the exasperation that
accompanies it, is replaced by fear. So long as the dog does not
submit, but continues to resist, a flexible switch should be used, if
necessary, on the head and jaws, but not on the top of the nose. It
may also be used on the neck, ears, legs and tail, but not on the
sexual parts or on the lower regions of the belly and chest. Apart
from such exceptional cases heavy cuts should only be applied to the
powerful muscles on the fore and hindquarters and on the back."
Mr. Richling is well known for his training methods around Louisville that many of the animal organizations around town have looked into his training methods.
If that wasn't bad enough, if you really want to be scared, Mr. Richling is also a convicted felon. Mr. Richling spent time in federal prison for demanding money from three people for bribes when he was a cop.
Is this the type of person you want training your dog? Would you leave your kids with this type of person?
Be afraid Be very afraid !!
