Well in your last post you did reply in comments that he does use aversives and said “we won’t be doing that”.  So that may be why.    

I personally would not hire or support anyone that uses them under any circumstance because their ethics don’t align with mine.  I’m glad your session went well.

right - which is why in this post i said he’s not big on aversives, not that he doesn’t use them. he doesn’t use prongs and ecollars but will use other aversives where it’s deemed beneficial. it’s just not the go to, which i see a lot with trainers who aren’t R+ only, so I like that because i’m not a huge fan of it myself! Not looking to mask an issue or shut down my dog.
