Training Anarchy

It is an every trainer for themselves kind of thing, it's the everyone is wrong approach, it's the wrong approach. Today I was pleased to find a trainer who I didn't know who responded with this same gripe. But the vibe was still there she looked at me with disdain when I said positive trainer. I look at her and said for the new owner with a new puppy why overwhelm them, let's make the choice simple like we do for the dogs and start them easy. I am never apposed to teaching a dog no, once she got that bit the air seemed to lighten a little bit. But the point stands why do we fight other trainers so hard. There are tons of us and even more dogs. Not every person is right for every trainer and every dog. I have tried to keep an open mind and heart in these situations but still I inadvertently put my guard up.
It's every trainer for themselves, a dog eat dog world, out there... one day I hope it's not and I no longer worry about running into another trainer.
