What is Cyber Bullying?
Definition:
"Cyberbullying involves the use of information and communication technologies such as e-mail, cell phone and pager text messages, instant messaging (IM), defamatory personal Web sites, and defamatory online personal polling Web sites, to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others."
Bill Belsey, Cyberbullying Expert
This magazine and its so called Editor-in-Chief Ryan O'Meara a fanciful title for what was a second rate quarterly mag has lied, libeled, and defamed my character. I had the temerity to question the quality of his magazines advice. My concerns were about his forum which he personally moderated and K9 magazine who were supporting and printing flawed and dangerous advice and the forum they ran was seen to be supporting dog abuse, lack of knowledge, and downright cruelty.
I am not the first person to be cyber bullied by this man and I doubt I will be the last.
I would not recommend anyone to take any advice from anything Ryan O'Meara is involved in. He is not a dog trainer and is certainly not a behaviourist. He has no formal qualifications in any of these roles and does not have a practice or school in any of these disciplines. His advice through his online magazines and K9 Media company is frankly ludicrous, and dangerous.
My Website and its content is testament to my ability and expertise. My rankings in Google are also a very strong guide to the quality of my advise and the depth of my knowledge
. Try and find anything that O'Meara has produced or written that has anywhere near the same impact quality or depth.
I totally and utterly refute these scurrilous and bullying accusations. I have called both Ryan O'Meara and his web of online organisations liars in print and in public. What other organisation would allow that slur without recourse to the courts? Only an organisation and an individual that has lied and is disingenuous would allow that.
Only a bully and a sociopath would start a vendetta against me for pointing out my serious concerns about this mans ability and knowledge. Which resulted in my insistence he remove all my articles, my name and work from his magazine and media companies. I also made him remove me from their panel of experts.
It really could not get any worse for this individual and his organisations. This what has happened since they started the vendetta against me.
Ryan O'Meara Loses Top Job at K9 Magazine.
K9 Media's Ryan Omeara Sneers at the very People that buy their products.
K9 Magazine published Dangerous Advice.
The Latest news on this man and his organisations is they have stopped printing K9 Magazine and it is just another E-Mag like the many dreary thousands on the Internet. He has been shunted out of the position of chief executive of K9 Magazine and appears to be trying to launch another on line mag called Total Dog Magazine. I tried to find out more about Total Dog but the piece has been suspended. See here Telegraph. I wonder why?
What I am concerned about is that they are being supported by Butchers Tripe a company who manufacture a well known brand of dog food. Are Butchers aware that Ryan O'Meara and K9 Magazine advises feeding young dogs up to their eyeballs, with the resultant obesity and the possibility of an early death that would cause?
Despite the fact I have written to K9 Media and supplied information that they are totally incorrect in their advice. This was confirmed by one of the Worlds leading experts on nutrition and feeding regimes, an expert that Ryan O'Meara has acknowledged was a highly credible source. Just how dangerous and foolish are K9 Magazine/K9Media when they ignore the concerns of a leading behaviourist and a published world expert both with the same concerns.
Sign up to anything that he is involved in and you would be supporting a bullying, sociopathic individual (See Website Bullying) and organisation that supported posting videos on their forum that would sicken most right minded people.
Some people may be Googling my name and coming up with K9 Magazine, Dog Magazine.net, Dognews.co uk, Dogchat and K9 Media plus a number of other organisation with the same information.
They are all the same organisation.
Despite the subterfuge of using different names that tries to suggest they are coming from different sources, using headlines such as "Stan Rawlinson Complaints Rise". All the complaints are from the same organisation owned by the same people. That in itself shows just how devious, dishonest and vicious these small minded people are.
The reasons for their attack is simple.
I exposed them and their MD O'Meara on K9s forum for not censoring what I personally believe was cruelty and dog abuse. And for publishing advice in their magazine K9 and on their online magazine that was in my opinion foolhardy and dangerous to our pets. I resigned from K9s panel of experts and their forum. And insisted they removed all my articles.
Two other professional trainers resigned at the same time because of the dangerous advice and the behaviour and dog abuse allowed by the controllers of that forum, who are Ryan O'Meara, K9 Magazine and K9 Media.
It is not just the fact of the shock, prong, and choke collars that were being used in home made videos. But the way they were used and abused without censor or concern from what bills itself as a magazine that cares about the welfare of our pets. That is like putting Herod in charge of child welfare.
This organisations website's and forum is where individuals made recommendations and showed DVD clips using shock, prong, and choke collars, even on pups and a disabled dog. This behaviour was ignored by the K9 team. The moderator who is also the MD, Ryan O'Meara, thereby by relationship K9 Magazine and all their other owned subsidiaries.
They supported and gave the oxygen of publicity to the perpetrators of what could only described as animal cruelty. These people were encouraged to air and show their disgusting training tactics on O'Meara's forum.

even suggested ignoring manufacturers guidelines on the use of shock collars on aggressive dogs. DVD clips were shown and allowed by a contributor Dennis Carthy with a Doberman with shock collars, one on the neck and the other on the groin. He also showed clips of a partially blind and deaf dog being shocked by an electronic collar. That made me feel sick to my stomach.
In the end they had to ban Dennis Carthy from their forum. Not for the lies and cruelty, but for sending indecent material of a sexual nature to a 13 year old little girl that posted on their forum. She should never have been allowed on such a forum in the first place.
Let me make it perfectly clear, It is not acceptable to use pain, fear, and subjugation to train a dog! It is not just the tools they used but the methods and the dogs they used them on.
K9 and its organisations are trying to denigrate and destroy me because I stood up and was counted. I have always fought cruelty, abuse and stupidity. However large the organisation. I will not stop now, just because they are attacking me.
I do not use the word liar lightly. I am aware that if I use it and it is not true then I could be sued for libel and defamation. I have asked them to sue me over my statements needless to say these bully boys didn't have the bottle. I am therefore suing them and I do have the bottle.
Those who know me well are aware I will not shirk naming any organisation or individual that I believe is having a serious detrimental effect or is abusing or allowing others to abuse our pets. O'Meara recently offered to remove all the slurs and lies about me if I removed the rebuttal. I refused as I need this man and his organisations to be shown up for what they are.
