"Real world" is a new one to me! It's one of those buzzwords like "tough love," which implies that the opposite is weak and therefore ineffective. I agree with you about Twitter. I've been more vigilant lately about checking websites so as not to follow -- and thereby imply approval -- of the quick fix trainers. Thanks, Roxanne. “Real world” is a new one to me!

One I'm seeing more often now is "real world" trainer, which often seems to mean old-school methods ... like those of us using newer methods live in some unreal world. Our trainer uses the tagline "Modern, Gentle Methods" to convey the fact that she uses up-to-date science and non-punishment strategies in her work. And, yes, these guarantees and "quick/easy" sales pitches (common in dog training franchises) annoy me. I'm seeing a lot of this lately on Twitter too.
