Appliance Factory Outlet Recommends Abusive Canine Trainer

Facebook has interesting areas to explore, especially on a day when the summer heat makes one a tad lazy. I was appalled when I came upon a Facebook page called Appliance Factory Outlet that was actually promoting animal cruelty in a very beguiling way.

With total nonchalance to public views, Appliance Factory Outlet boldly advertised: "Does your dog do bad? Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training is a great obedience training center located in Westminster, Colorado. Check them out and 'Like' their page! Don't forget to enter YOUR dog into our contest, good or bad!"

My mouth gaped. Judging by the comments, I wasn't the only one to protest this action.

Perhaps AFO didn't realize that they were promoting an abusive company such as Sit Means Sit (?) One moment as I check my mind; did I actually give them some benefit of the doubt?

AFO commented: "Hi all, thank you for your comments and for bringing the issue to light. Appliance Factory Outlet neither agrees nor disagrees with the affects or use of dog collars on dogs. Your comments have brought a very important issue to light and we're supportive of having an open forum on this topic. We love animals of all kinds (thus celebrating Pet Appreciation Week) and we're glad that you do, too. Thank you again for all of your comments!"

I soon realized that Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training had first promoted AFO. In turn, the latter company became flattered by the limelight and decided to propagate the Denver dog training center two hours later. With all business details aside, the two companies pulled a fast one to increase business ventures in marketing without regard to a single iota of ethics toward the reality of animal cruelty.

Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training

When it comes to training canines, this company doesn't have a healthy track record. Numerous complaints have been filed by dog owners for the usage of shock collars to break the canines into a painful submission. One YouTube video regarding such techniques was even taken off site, being reported as abusive.

The means of training that SMSDDT uses have many dog owners shaking their heads. The company is masking the behind-the-scenes training, for the obvious reason of trying to preserve their business. However, some unfortunate owners were not spared the pain as they witnessed their pet canines being trained with a shock collar attached to the animal's groin.

SMSDDT is convinced that shock collars are the answer in professionally training canines to behave at their master's command, but if abuse is needed to train any animal then perhaps the word 'trainer' is not a qualified title.

As for AFO, maybe they should just stick to their area of expertise -- appliances.
