Online dog training consultations: A vet's POV and a call for regulation in training :: Vet P.O.V. 2/13/08

I don’t know about you but I have a bone to pick with the issue of online dog training. A dog trainer and former vet tech, Julie Bjelland Lokhandwala, is now offering live consults through her website, WebDogtrainer.com.  It seems she’s found her niche for expanding the scope of her business via the Internet in ways most of us never thought possible—perhaps because it’s not.
To me, dog training online seems much akin to practicing vet medicine in the same format—it just doesn’t work. Not only is there much that can be misinterpreted when personal interaction is only available via video, but there seems something vaguely spammy about selling one-on-one dog training services through this medium.
