based on the feedback provided, it seems that the course has been generally well-received by most users. Many learners appreciate Ted's approach to dog training, which blends both positive and negative reinforcement while emphasizing the importance of patience and understanding the dog's behavior. The clear demonstration of techniques with real dogs and their different reactions was highly valued, as it provides a practical insight into how these methods can be applied in various situations.

Some users highlighted that the course broke down complex training processes into digestible parts, which helped them to better understand their dogs. The use of tools like e-collars and prong collars was a point of debate, with some learners being against their usage due to ethical and legal reasons, while others found value in understanding these methods for specific cases where they might be necessary.

There were also comments on the presentation style, with many learners finding Ted's calm and engaging approach to be effective and non-condescending. The course was recommended by several users, especially for those who want to improve their understanding of dog behavior and training.

However, there were a few critical points mentioned:

1. Some learners felt that the course became more like an infomercial at times, with multiple promotional points.
2. A couple of users pointed out that the approach of punishing a dog for behaviors it has not been taught to avoid was backward.
3. The mention of bite inhibition and the demonstration of handling dogs with high aggression levels were met with comments about the need for careful handling and the potential risks involved.
4. One user expressed disappointment that more teaching and less demonstration were provided later in the course.
5. There was a significant concern raised about the legal and ethical implications of some training methods, especially in different countries where laws may vary.
6. The importance of involving the dog owner in the training process was also emphasized by a user who works with shelter dogs and highlighted that the techniques shown might not be suitable or legal in certain contexts.

Overall, the course appears to have been beneficial for many learners, providing them with a deeper understanding of canine behavior and effective training methods. The feedback suggests that while some aspects of the course could be improved or clarified, it has been a valuable resource for both professional trainers and enthusiasts looking to enhance their skills and knowledge in dog training.
