princessbella Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hi, I've been getting emails from Dean Rankin dog trainer trying to get me to buy his training program. Has anyone else tried it? was it a good program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Who is Dean Rankin? What's his background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerzeit Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Just from looking through Google it appears that this is an audio course that you pay for and download. Many comments from people about how they have been ripped off. Other comments from people about how the "secrets" are just standard training techniques. IMO, you would be far better off spending your money on face to face obedience classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princessbella Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Ok, that's what I thought thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netti Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I have been getting the emails too after I showed some interest in his product. He is now offering two books for free if I do a reveiw on his methods. I havent answered as I dont want to encourage more emails. I would be interested if anybody has seen what he is selling. Cheers Netti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Rottweiler Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) Another guy called Adam Katz was flogging his "secret training method" which many gullible people purchased. Let me just say this guys, there are many fantastic trainers right here in Australia that can give you world class results. Don't waste your hard earned money buying up crap from other countries, get off your bum and go and train with someone who can show you results on the spot and so YOU can take that away with you.

becks Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I agree, the best way to learn something is to have the person infront of you who is able to show you and where necessary correct or sharpen up your technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I have had many emails from this guy & I haven't replied once, if he is that good why is he bombarding people with emails??? also he writes silly stuff in his emails about Amstaffs (SOMEHOW HE KNOWS i HAVE AN AMSTAFF & HE KNOWS HER NAME IS mALLEE - HE NEVER MENTIONS MY OTHER XBREED DOG - DOES HE GET DETAILS OF THE REGISTER???- sorry, not yelling I just accidently hit Caps Lock!!) He says thaings about Amstaffs being hard to train & he has the 'secret' to unlocking Mallee's obedience - oooooooooh pleeeease!!!! He refers to the difficulties I must have toilet training Mallee, however Mallee is an inside dog & we have never had a problem toilet training her - so I decided then he had nothing to offer me.

princessbella Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 That's so funny Zero, he says the exact same thing about "bulldogs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Rottweiler Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 obviously he's a member of this list and he's getting your email address from your card. If he's so confident of his abilities, ask him to unlock the secrets for you as a test case for free and that you will promote his techniques if you get results. quid pro quo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) I know someone who got a similar e.mail form OS ( not sure if it was the same fellow) this person has had 6x UD/TD dogs and was going to try for endurance with dog number 6 so was doing some research on endurance and such...he got her e.mail from a book mailing list. He said something about her no 6 dog breed being hard to train too THis dog was UD by this time She offered to "review" his product if he sent it free of charge and publish the review for him....never heard from him again. :D Edited May 25, 2006 by Alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Rottweiler Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 These people are pure charlotans! The USA is swarming with people who get rich by deceptive measures simply by using fancy words and using the words, 'secrets' in their phrases. People feel so compelled to find out what it's all about that they will spend the money only to find that a trainer 30 minutes away from them in Australia could give them 10 times more. Of course this is not limited to the USA as Australia has many shonky BS artists doing the same here. Just remember guys, a million dollar vocabulary does not make a great dog trainer, or for that matter, even a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopuppy04 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I get the same emails about Aussie shepherds.... end up in junk mail and delete them - they are a waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnie Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Im getting my puppy in about 3 weeks...but I dont think I'll be using the Dean Rankin course. By the looks of what Ive already seen from the downloads..its no different from books on training you'd get at a library or book shop. A lot of what he writes is just plain common sense. I think I'll go for the puppy classes locally instead. But I will do a write up...if this helps others make up their mind as to whether they want to go for it or not. But I'd suggest not to waste your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausdogsx6 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 It seems Dean Rankin has the same reply for any breeds cos he also has the secret for training them too! But while on the subject of training programs I was wondering if anyone has any info about Master dog Breeders. It sounds good, and I have been tempted to join, but when I looked at the members courses & books etc, they seem very expensive and I wonder if its just another rip off.

Mad About Minx Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hello all, If you look Dean Rankin up on the internet, you will discover that he is a mass marketer and a fraud. Many people have lost money with his "dog training" guide and most people are still waiting for refunds and replies. A quality trainer will not take your money over the internet for information that is also provided for free through websites from registered breeders and books that you can get from a library. Save your money...I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
