[nagdu] Questionable web site

[Julie J]

You know I didn't even register a difference!  I suppose that's what they 
are hoping.  That could be a problem.

I still think in regard to the certification etc. that it's okay.  They 
aren't saying that your dog has to be certified, only that becoming 
certified with them has advantages.  As an owner trainer I can see the 
appeal of having an ID card and the name of a law firm that businesses can 
call with access questions.   I don't have an ID card and have no intention 
of acquiring one because it's not required.  However, I can definitely see 
how some people might want to have that as a back up plan.

JMHO
Julie
