I am a professional dog trainer and applied canine behaviorist with close to a decade of experience working with aggressive dogs and their owners. I am also a specialist presenter for Australia’s only nationally recognized, government accredited course in dog training; the Certificate III in Dog Behavior and Training, run by the National Dog Trainers Federation (Australia).

I consider Hector’s dog bite prevention material to be of high value to any person that requires a clear understanding of why dogs bite, and why people get bitten by dogs. Hector’s ability to use layman’s terms makes his material accessible to people from all walks of life, and is refreshingly practical and simple to put to immediate use.

To date I have yet to find a better presented systemic approach towards dog bite prevention for the community and industry, and I feel that Hector has every reason to feel very proud of the body of work he has achieved.

Thank you for your support both professionally and personally Hector.

Sincerely, Brad Griggs, Canine Services International, Australia.

Mr. Hernandez, your video possibly saved one of my employees' life. I run a meter reading contract and our safety coordinator found your video. I had all my readers watch it. About two weeks ago I had a meter reader walk around the corner of a house with no fence who was ambushed by a pit bull. She remembered not to jerk her arm away and because the pit bull jumped her and knocked her to the ground she had the presence of mind to keep her arm close to her body, get on top of the dog and use her free hand to grab the dog's windpipe and squeeze. The owner was only able to pry the dog off of her and free her arm when the dog finally gasped for air.

I thank you very much for providing that video free of charge. I'm sure you've helped save several lives by providing that video that way. My reader ended up with a bruise on her left ribcage and a fairly serious bite on her right arm that required twelve stitches to close. It could have been much worse if she had not remembered her training.
