Seems like he has some good ideas. Would really love to be able to get my sight hound to come back!
Anyone use MK9 Plus dog training?

I used Whippet Wonders as I was having issues with Lola my Whippet. I've had dogs more or less all my life - including a Whippet cross - but Lola was different
The courses make you think "outside the box" and the methods work. Lola is still a weird and nutty dog at times, but her recall has improved she is a lot calmer

Snobby I know and many will disagree but as well as accreditation I always like to see a bit of practical/competition experience in a trainer, doesn't have to be top level but someone who can get through an obedience round or an agility course or a BH or something. I haven't heard of this chap but any good trainer won't mind being asked their credentials.
It's good proofing for any trainer, a lot of people seem to train their own family dogs to do stuff, do courses and then 'go pro', which isn't a bad thing but I personally like that extra layer of proving your training against a set of criteria in the real world.
If you can get yourself or someone else around a test, it's a good thing to have on your CV.

If he is who I'm thinking of he's the guy who seemed to just let his dog/s bog off and do whatever they wanted 'for their mental health' and I found it weird to call himself a dog trainer when he didn't seem to do much in the way of actual training.
