Would Dog Trainers Sell Out Dog Owners For Money?

I warn you – this is going to be a long blog. And there are details that I am going to leave out for now. This is the start of exposing the very lie called “dog training”. And I will be naming names. And this is just partial over what else is coming – this is mainly deal with Alex. Something I told her that I would do – this needs to be addressed.

If I can prove that one dog trainer sold out – threw the very “science of behavior” in the garbage – so they can make money off you and your dog? Would that at least open your mind to the rest? There are alot of dog trainers getting nervous of me – and there is a concerted effort to shut me down, to shut me up – and who is leading that crusade?

Alexendra Dittman of course. She’s the new face of dog training that people have never heard of.

I’m going to use Alexandra Dittman as an example of the lies and deceit that’s going on in dog training. Ivan Balbanov, Robert Cabral, Haz Othman are just a few that know they are lying to dog owners for money. These men blame B.F Skinner for the science that’s not allowed in dog training. But here I am, trying to bring the very science of behavior into the behavior ring – and they don’t want it.

That’s why they want to shut me down – shut me up. Why are Positive Reinforcement, balanced and IGP trainers alike making a concerted effort to shut down a man that’s trying to bring some actual science to dogs? Cause I am not good for business – if you listen to me – if you listen to a bit of psychology?

You never need to “hire a trainer” again. That’s why they don’t want me to have a voice.

Well, Mrs. Dittman joined those ranks. It’s easy for me to prove, this blog is mostly all this about her – and I’m to using her own words. You can read them for yourself. She wants to call it slander but hey… I didn’t start this. Someone told me that Alexandra was posting on Cabrals facebook page trying to take me down. That took me off guard and it’s been ongoing since. They started a little war with me – and it’s not working out very well for them. I’m always 2 steps ahead – and they are finally starting to figure it out.

I want to preface this by saying something. It doesn’t bother me to see her turn coat for money and possible fame – I’ve seen it too often, numb to it now. This has never been about me – what I’m doing – I do for dog owners and the dog. But to see the shock and hurt from people that seen the real Alexandra and got to know her? The lady that read Konrad Most’s book and was appalled by it. The lady that read B.F Skinner – the lady that knows the science and championed it?. She turned on them – dog owners, friends. Her choice, happens all the time I’m sure.

These same people that she turned on are telling me they are asking questions on her youtube channel – but Alexandra is deleting those comments and blocking these individuals. Why? Because they are asking questions that she refuses to answer – even though she knows the answers. The right answers aren’t convenient – they don’t make money. How sad is it when you start blocking dog owners out of fear of losing money? I figure Alex will eventually be blocking more people than she wants to. And it’s not just Alex – many owners are hitting dog trainer youtube channels – and are simply asking questions. Why are they getting banned and blocked too? There is alot of it going on.

Alexandra said that I’m trying to start a war? Trying to get dog owners to attack trainers? That’s another lie – I would love for her to show me anything to prove that. What I have asked dog owners to do is to go out and ask questions of dog trainers. I can even give them a list. Yet, they get ridiculed, blocked, and banned instead – this is the norm.

One last thing. Robert Cabral and Zak George are supposed to be “enemies”. But we all know that’s a joke isn’t it? Alexandra threw all the science in the garbage – I know she made a deal with Zak George and they put her into a leadership role with the responsibility of shutting me up and shutting me down. Think about something – if Cabral and Zak are such bitter enemies? Why would Cabral allow Alexandra Dittman to post publicly on his page? A Positive Reinforcement trainer that’s tied directly to Zak George? Chew on that for a while – we will get to it. Lets read those comments shall we? I’m just going to copy and paste the longer ones – if you want screen shots, I can provide those too. And bear in mind – she aligns with Zak George. These are all fully public statements, it was posted on September 8th and carried on from there. I urge you to read the comments. You can go to Robert Cabrals facebook page, and read the comments under his post about someone slandering him and wanting to take me down.

Just to mention: Robert Hynes already got 2 recent copyright strikes from YouTube, then thought it’s smart to start on myself, so, more strikes are incoming (copyright, defamation, and community standards have all been violated). It only needs 1 more YouTube strike or harrassment complaints more, and his channel is terminated, and that’ll be the end of it for all of us.

On the plus side, thanks to his free-of-charge advertising for me, I’ve gained double the views and average subscriber influx on my social media since he’s put up the videos. Very nice. That’s the benefit all of us targeted by Hynes’ TLC have – it makes people curious, and they look us up, and some like what they’re seeing!

I used to be in his FB group for owners of reactive dogs, and talked to him for a bit to see what he’s bringing to the table. And initially, what he said seemed useful in my better understanding of one of my dogs (a Mastiff who back then was highly reactive). But after a while, it became clear that Hynes’ “trust technique” dosen’t provide actual answers for anything training related. None at all. So, from my current understanding, I’d say parts of his message has value, but it’s extremly limited. What made me leave his FB group and break off contact is seeing the IMMENSE number of nasty, slanderous reaction videos he has on his channel about other trainers. As a fairly “young” cross-over trainer, I see things very, very differently from the way I used to (back in the day, I worked for Garret Wing at DIYK9).

Sure, I’m no longer a fan of balanced training, but seeing ANY trainers being maliciously attacked and smeared on YouTube the way Hynes does it… That’s just lowest level, and speaks volumes about the man’s “true colors”. As he won’t learn, evolve, or change his ways, and keeps digging his heels in, first Facebook banned him, and now, YouTube will follow suit very soon. I’m feeling sorry for his loyal followers whom he is leading into an absolute dead-end of isolation from the wider dog training community, and of villifying any and all approaches to dog training and behavior modification.

Just in case any of his followers reads this – my advice to you is this: Keep an open mind! See through the gnarly control games Hynes has pulled you into to get your attention, approval, time, energy and money. He wants you to go out there and attack other trainers, “fighting his fight (???) for him”. Do you really think he has your best interest at heart? If you need help with your dog: Theres a wide spectrum of highly educated trainers out there, trainers of every flavor. You want to go the force free route? Fantastic! Many established professionals available. You prefer balanced training? No problem, stay right here then and learn from Robert Cabral.

Through all that? I want to ask you one question. Why haven’t they struck me yet? 1 more strike and I’m off youtube. They could do it so easily – why aren’t they? Because someone has to do the striking – and that someone will be exposed to me by youtube. Cabral struck my channel because that was his only avenue – he also went for 2 other videos and failed and those videos are burr up his ass. This “Lincoln” fellow said that there is a concerted effort to take me down. I did 2 reaction videos to Glasgow Dog Trainer. Someone knew I got an email – and I volunteered to take the videos down – of my own accord. I think 500 people watched the video – so the damage is done. These trainers told Glasgow to send a request to see what happens. Ask nice for one thing – and you might get what you desire. These trainers don’t know how to ask nicely.

Another comment from Cabral’s page.

So I’m crying the victim now cause I’m being send anonymous emails from a fellow named Lincoln? I can’t very well respond to these anonymous emails. So I’m making video responses to them – knowing full well that a whole lot of trainers are watching my channel at the moment. I’m sure you know who Lincoln is Alex? Whoever it is – they are part of the conglomerate.

I love this comment. No, I’ve never put a dog through obedience, field trials or anything, it’s not my interest. Alex is fully aware that I love working with dogs behaviorally. I have no interest in doing anything else. The fact is – I respect the dog alot more than that – to put them through all that stuff. You can go to Cabrals facebook and read the rest.

She seemed to love my reaction to Zak George’s video reaction…? What changed? Oh, she became best friends with Zak George himself. Find Alex on facebook – oh my she’s all about Zak Georges “Scientific Consensus” that is complete and utter nonsense. And yes, I can prove that too. Go ask Zak himself to define the word behavior. He can’t, he won’t. I’m sure he would stutter on a live if asked to define that word. Cabral himself blew it – the behavioral expert that he is couldn’t define the bloody word. But yet, totally cool about behavioral euthanasia.

I don’t talk about dog training anywhere – unless it’s to explain the negative side effects. In the group, I’m helping dog owners understand some basic behavioral psychology. And some Trust Technique. The very object of the science of behavior is understanding the causes of the behavior. And Alex is well aware of all of this. How often to you hear trainers try to understand the cause? No, they reach for treats, tools, quadrants and none of it is working. This is what Alex has turned to – Konrad Most. She understands the science, she’s intelligent and a fast learner. She even took to helping other dog owners in the group using the science of behavior. What’s changed? Oh, lets carry on shall we?

I take no joy in doing all this but someone has to stand up for the dog and put a stop to this nonsense. Even after everything you said about me and to me – I still tried to give you a way out Alex. But I guess whoever this Lincoln character is – decided for you.

Alexandra, you lied, and you blocked Jasmine. You came back into the group on Friday, September 13th 2024 to delete your postings. But unfortunately for you – they expected this and took screen shots of all your postings — and had already sent them to me. How do I know you came back to delete? Have a looksee. Yeah, I’m no longer part of facebook – but I still keep in close contact with the admins. Maybe you didn’t realize that. Now why would you delete all your postings in a group so long after the fact? What have you got to hide? Lets find out shall we? Just things that make you go hrmmm. These are just a few.

Here’s another post from the group – in 2 parts. She realized that treats weren’t helping. Again, what changed?

I don’t use treats, never did. Alex stopped. Why? And why did she start again? Hrmm?

Please give a fantastic review of Robert Hynes. And I will post 2 of her reviews about me further down. This lady knows the science. Why did she toss it in the garbage – to support Zak George’s “scientific consensus”? If you can get enough birds together that are willing to chirp the same song? There’s your “scientific consensus” – and Alexandra is now chirping that same song knowing that she’s lying for money.

Funny how suddenly I’m the asshole that needs to be shut up and shut down? Care to explain that to people Alex?

This was posted May 15th, 2024 past. What changed Alex? How did I become your bitter enemy so fast? Why do you want to shut me down? You know the science inside and out – but you also know that once dog owners understand the science – you don’t make much money. Why? Cause they won’t need to “hire a trainer”. I wonder why you’re coming after me?

And you are bullshitting about the book too. I told you point blank – if I can’t get dog owners to read a blog – what chance is there of getting them to read a book? It was me that pulled out, not you.

You get the point, there is alot more and I’m too old and cranky to spend hours on one blog. However. For your viewing pleasure. And I have to ask dog owners a question.

And by the way, if you stay on my youtube channel – there are anonymous emails that you can read. I had asked for a burner email account so I could reply. They kept sending anonymous. So my only recourse is to do a video response.

How did I become this enemy that needs to be destroyed? It only happened in the last week or so. What changed? I’ll tell you what change – Robert Cabral’s mind changed – that’s what. He didn’t like the fact that I reacted to a few of his videos – that’s why all this started. And I will get into that soon enough.

Why would Cabral allow Dittman – an open supporter of Zak George – his apparent bitter enemy – to beak off on his page? Think about that.

They are working together – always have been. Positive Reinforcement and balanced – 2 peas in a pod and all controlled by IGP trainers. You start off in Positive Reinforcement cause hey, it’s the good one right. When that fails – it’s off to balanced. There is a reason you never see Positive Reinforcement trainers working with aggression or reactivity cases – it’s really not their job.

Think about that.
