dog whispering and taco bell

My friend who is in organizational development and always has a keen eye on the bigger picture often says "the world doesn't need another Taco Bell". Who wants that anyway? Or for that matter another Cheesecake Factory or another Bed Bath and Beyond. Does the world need more dog trainers? Well, surely the demand may be at an all time high, but how do you know if your "professional" trainer is of the Taco Bell or the Morton's variety? In this New York Times article, they explore the trend of dog trainers popping up like fast food restaurants. Some trainers with years of experience and apprenticing, and others pay 30K, have three weeks of training and are in business. Interesting stuff...
