Doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG, butt here are enough assertions of WP:NOTABILITY that I felt uncomfotable with just prodding it. Also seems to be have been created for promotional purposes. Boleyn (talk) 17:35, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I have no idea how to judge one's position in the world of dog training, but there are definitely more references that could be included here. None of substance, however, appear to be entirely third-party, in the sense that none are from outside of the world of dog training with the exception of this [1] piece from the Orlando newspaper. That is basically a "local human interest" story, and by itself wouldn't imply notability. He is indeed in the hall of fame of "Canine Professionals" organization [2], but he's also a founding member of the organization and on its board. I can't find information on how many members there are, but it looks like anyone can become a member. He has written books and did develop a special collar, but so far I can only find promotional material about those. LaMona (talk) 02:32, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
