You seem to be the resident expert
That would not be a claim I would be willing to make hell the best animal trainers don't consider themselves experts there is a lot more that isn;t know than is.
One think to keep in mind there are a lot of "experts" on here don't confuse being prolific with being and expert. some don't have the time other the desire to answer a lot og question but it does not make them less of an expert.
I I'am old so I do have a lot of experience starter out as an old school trainer to clicker training so i have a good understanding of the stregths and weakness of each, I once heard it said that the reason why so few superstar in sports succeed as coahes is because. 1. there expectations of the work ethic of other is way to high, and two the did not ever have to realy study and try different approaches. When it comes to training dogs I don't have a strong worth ethich there are many that put in way more time than i do and I'm not blesses with superior timing, inated carisma, or doggie sence that makes training second nature but something that can't be word. I am pretty ordinary as a trainer so if it worksd well for me it will work well for others. I have a good memory I don't forget. so I can recall the information and where to find it quickly., Probably the real reason for your perception,
Through faults of my own and fault of other I have had to deal with Fearful dogs that were dog v dog aggressive and dog v human aggressive. I have had rescue dog tha have be severe resource guarder and raised puppies that would hand over anything.
I done quite a bit of research on nutrition because it is one of the variable you can control in performance dogs an how it affects performance.
as far as train background an success
