First, The booklet I received for my "specific" breed was clearly generic and used for other breeds, as it wasn't edited well, nor was it terribly accurate. The site access to "free information" all seems to lead to more books to buy.

Second, I left messages for months to get someone to call me back to discuss cancelling my monthly "subscription." No one calls back. When I finally gave up calling and went to the website, it gave me an inducement to pay another $37 for a lifetime membership. For "faster" service, it told me to log a ticket which the system won't submit. Nor will it submit your cancellation. I had to go to my bank and initiate a dispute in order to stop the payments.

I had to rate the site a 1 to put this review on line. Undeserved however. I work training dogs of all types. My breed of choice is Alaskan Malamutes and I have specialized in training "nordic or spitz" breed dogs for over 35 years. I have raised and trained multiple National Obedience Champions of my own, all of which have been alaskan malamutes and siberian huskies. The claims of teaching breed specific etiology and remedy is completely not true. The overwhelming majority of what they claim about malamutes is not true, unsubstantiated, or generic at best. Even what they claim are behavioral normalities unique to only malamutes is not true. Example: Malamutes are pack animals and require being dealt with in a different way. Truth is, all dogs are pack animals. All the info they give on how to train an alaskan malamute can and should be applied to all dogs. Are there specific training techniques and ways to behaviorally condition and or modify the Alaskan Malamute, absolutely. But there course and information does not discuss any of them. Like I said "generic". To the average indidvidual who is unknowledgeable about their breed or dogs in general, the course and info sounds legitament. To a savvy individual, it's easy to see it for what it is... GARBAGE AND LIES... Stay away from this scam...

Do you treat all your customers this way and expect to just get away with it? Yes, my dog is a Shorkie but they could have come close to the right breed. They at least got her name right after awhile. After the original payment. They didn't contact me by email which is the only way we had communicated but called my house and said they had been trying to call for 3-4 days. There is always someone in my house to answer the phone. Finally, my Mom got a call from them saying something about them renewing a magazine subscription and them have charging my account for it. Not asking if they could but telling me they already had done it. Sure enough, they had changed my account four days before they even notified me I emailed them and finally called my bank and they are handling it as a fraudulent case. My $37.00 has been put back but I don't know which one it is for. They cancelled my membership for me but I think they said something about a free month. Who cares. I just want all my money back. You are 100% right. SCAM. I wish I had come here first!

I own a AKC English Bulldog puppy that I was contacted by this company concerning training option. They advertise expert training insights specific to my breed. They bait you with so called ideal packages that once you pay for they never deliver! I have had to cancel them through my credit card company! I gave them over a month to deliver the printed material and they never delivered! What they did do was continued to solicit me for more "Secret Expert Tips"! They are a Rip Off!

I too was lured in by the information that this course had all the inside scoop on my Siberian Huskies (AKA "Sibies")! So glad and lucky that I google'd the "company" to get to the reviews. I was tipped off just as I was about to put in my credit card information... I looked for the VeriSign logo, which I did not see. It IS awful the way scammers go to such great lengths to get your money.
IS THERE NO WAY TO SOMEHOW HACK THEIR SITE TO PUT IN A "SCAMMER ALERT'? I am not tech-savvy, but someone who is should try to do this! Beat them at their own game!

I tried to buy a hard copy book on how to train an American Staffonshire Terrier and I spent $37 first and then they asked me another $97 which I stupidly PAIED.
I wanted that book very much. I have never received the hard copy of the book I received a 140 pages in a spiral folder with General infos about that dog breed that I could easily research myself. THEY ARE A BIG SCAM AND NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN. DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION THEY WILL KEEP ON CHARGING WHATEVER THEY WANT ON IT.

Like so many here, I am glad I checked reviews before I got conned. Red flag for me was " We guarantee your credit card info is 100% secure". Who would promise that?

According to the web their address is 8721 Santa Monica Blvd, Suite 1010, Los Angeles CA except there is no such place. 8721 Santa Monica Blvd is in West Hollywood. Google Map shows it to be an outdoor strip mall of restaurants, a VCA emergency vet, etc. No suites. Number 8721 is an empty store front with a For Rent sign.

I would encourage you to take your complaint to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint which is www.ic3.gov since it is credit card fraud and econsumer.gov to report an international scam. The only way anything will change is if the victims report it!

I, like so many others, was sucked into the cute little cartoon video with the cute little Abby Chihuahua being a bad puppy and her owner at her wits end dealing with animal control threatening to take poor Abby away if she doesn't get trained. I was thisclose to signing up for the $37.00, only by midnight, offer and the guarantee of a 120 day money back guarantee plus the elite club and the free calls with trainers and vets etc. Before I entered my credit card number I thought twice and decided to see if the lovely Nancy Richards had any reviews of success to make sure I wasn't getting something I didn't want and then I found this site as well as many others not boasting about the site but instead bewaring people about the site. It's a shame because people who are sucked in by that adorable cartoon video and don't check for reviews before joining are going to be left holding nothing but a big bag of dog poo. That's not right. I'm reporting this site on Yelp! And to the better business bureau to get it shut down asap. It kills me that the adorable Nancy has been at this since 2007 and it's now 2015 and she's still at it. Wow! That's all I can say and a debt if gratitude for the warnings. Stay away from this site if you value your money.
