Absolute Dogs

Well well! Facebook is interesting isn’t it?

I’ve got direct experience of their business and have been to their farm as part of another event. Let’s just say I don’t support them and never have.

What have I missed?

<cocks eyebrow>
I keep getting their bloody adverts on my feed. I'm not good with manic.

I guess not surprising but I am glad that people are now able to speak out.

I will not be using any of their products.

Alleged puppy farming and other stuff

Tug e nuff are complicated. One of the directors has just released a statement.

Yes I know but not really complicated though is it? Damage limitation maybe

Yes. Interesting. I prefer Pawstrading anyway 😂

Ooft, what's happened?

We tried one of their tuggies in the past but it wasn't very good. That's my only experience of them apart from seeing their Facebook ads.

Are you ready this sounds like an episode of the Archers!

Lauren Langman Absolute Dogs has allegedly been running a puppy farm.

Her partner Matt Rouse is Director of Tugg e Nuff along with Danny and his Mother.

Matt's brother Danny today has resigned as director of Tugg e Nuff as Matt wont to avoid some of the fall out of the puppy farming allegations. Allegedly

I find it a bit over engineered compared to some of the Pawstrading toys and also SWAG which are good. Puppy has a pawspocket tuggy for agility and she can get into it a lot easier and is much more motivated by it than the Clam I tried which is the TeN equivilent. I suspect they're designed for the really determined tuggers ie. collies and other high drive dogs rather than dogs that can go 'meh' if it's not easy enough.

But yeah. One of the best well known secrets in the agility world. Good that it is now being brought to the fore. People have tried before and been threatened. I have been to the venue and none of what I have seen and heard surprises me based on that. Business above all else.

Post by LL on facebook...

Her statement is bollocks. Total crap. “Oh I didn’t realise I was breeding so much!” She’s made MILLIONS and you’re not telling me that goon Tom isn’t well aware of what was going on too. Disgusting behaviour for a vet. I despise the pair of them.

I've just spent a miserable half an hour on FB finding out what she has allegedly been up to. I was never a fan (found them completely OTT) but those poor bloody dogs. And terrible for trainers associated with them.

It’s shocking isn’t it. All those trainers that paid thousands to become Pro Dog Trainers, only for the name to be forever tainted.

I know a few. Genuine people. Very hard earned money paid out. They are devastated.

Sometimes it pays to be a cynic.

Worst kept 'secret' in agility.....

I can’t find anything on FB. People are saying their posts are being deleted immediately. Was it on the AD page?

Even her previous mentor Susan Garrett has slated her.

Does anyone have more info on this? I found some snippets on Facebook but I'm not part of the agility world so I have not known about this and would like to hear more. It is quite shocking to me, I've been to one training at their Devon farm, and I have implemented some of their (free) courses and games into my training and it's been really good. Though they've always been too hectic and simplistic for me to sign up for anything else or pay for a course. I am shocked considering they have been such a huge influence to get normal people into positive training and this is a terrible fallout. I really worry it will hurt the positive training community.

This is all a complete load of rubbish. The lies that people unquestioningly believe is unbelievable. I know Lauren and Tom. I've met their dogs. I've seen them training and interacting with their dogs and they've trained my dogs. They love their dogs and all dogs and are amazing with dogs and their work has changed the lives of many many thousands of dogs. Don't believe what you've read.

Then why has Lauren released a statement basically admitting she's fucked up?

If what you were saying was true, then there would be absolutely no need for Lauren to release a statement where she admits welfare of the dogs has slipped and she bred too much and breeding practices were questionable including rehoming bitches when not able to have any more litters (aka a puppy farm).

I can't find the original Facebook stuff can anyone link?

Just some links to KC history and her statement. Who's blown the whistle and why now?

I am shocked. I used to follow them on FB but found their performance too much and over the top. Saying that, I did buy their DVD 'Naughty but nice' and it helped my dog so much.
