"My family and I (we were the group of 6 from Arizona) were

so happy to have the opportunity to talk to you at the park

the other day. You became the highlight of our trip to the

city. That's a huge statement Tibor. We talked about

you, your dreams, your "reason for being here",

your passion, your ability with the dogs - over and over and

over. I too love animals, but I have certainly never taken

the time to know them as you do. As I said to you, I would

love to come back to NYC to spend some time with you so that

I could fully understand your method. You are an extremely

bright and kind soul. Obviously, that pours through to the

people you meet, to the dogs, and to the universe - who in

return give it back to you. I loved the feeling I had when

I was talking to you. It was a feeling of calm, of

"oneness", of peace with the dogs. LOVED it.

LOVED talking to you.

There is a song from YENTL (the movie) and the lyrics say .

. . . "there are moments you remember all your life . .

. . . this is one of those moments".

I will never forget meeting you and our conversation in the

park. I will be planning a trip to spend time with you and

the dogs. My plan is to bring my dog too. You made a huge

and lasting impression on me Tibor. Initially, it was

seeing about 5 people walking somewhere around 25 dogs!!

Then it was your incredible good looks. My first statement

to you . . . ."you should be a model", and you

said, "I was". That was a very interesting story.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Awesome that you

got out of that line of work, although you would have been

such a huge success at that career. So nice that we were

able to hear what life is like as a beautiful male model. I

had no idea. Very sad. To see what you have done with

dogs, and to see what you have done with your life . . . . I

am just so very happy for you. I LOVE to see what happens

when people follow their dreams and have success that is

greater than they could have imagined. You are doing just

that.

I'm going to send you a photo of me with my dog so that

you can remember who I am. When I am able, I will plan a

trip. I will be in contact with you by phone so that I can

better understand your schedule and where you will be. You

had described being in Connecticut and someplace else, too.

I will find you! You are amazing, unique, and so very

talented. I am very happy to know you and so thankful to

have spent time with you. We will meet again."

"As one of his clients, he is an outstanding dog trainer who is caring, compassionate and extremely good at what he does.

Tibor has helped me with my 1.5 year old toy poodle, Peanut, with great
results.

He takes my pup several times a week and walks her with many other dogs. He
has patiently taught me how to motivate and communicate with Peanut while
always allowing her to retain her puppy personality. She wags her tail
like mad every time she sees him. She is not submissive. She is happy and
obedient as all well trained dogs should be."

This is a response from a client towards the recent allegations and assumptions that Zen-K9 abuses dogs

"I have spoken with Tibor extensively and have joined many pack walks in the park. He is an extremely knowledgeable, generous dog behaviorist. The dogs are receiving plenty of exercise and stimulus, they are not down for hours as are the other allegations are exaggerated. All the owners have one on one sessions with Tibor and are well aware of his method. He employs the same method and technique as Cesar Millan. Really none of us know exactly what Cesar does unless you have had a personal session with him. Each case is a 7 -10 minute edited story, we don’t know what he does completely.

Quite honestly, this has turned into a witch hunt. If you or your friends are in the park and see him with his dogs why not introduce yourself to Tibor and have a discussion. He has been doing this for many years, people from all over the world have videotaped and photographed him. He welcomes any questions. Go directly to the source, you don’t know the history of any of these dogs, some have been saved from certain death due to aggression and biting. Now they walk side by side led by a calm assertive pack leader and their owners are very grateful."

For the record, due to slander and the act of defamation of character we have been investigated by many different animal organizations (some undercover) such as ASPCA, PETA, RESCUE INK. None of them found any signs of abuse towards the dogs we work with on behavior modification, in fact, have responded positively to the techniques towards the dogs in our care.

"I write on behalf of Tibor Feigel and Zen K9. I write as a friend, customer and also as the lawyer for Zen K9 and Tibor. I have known Tibor for several years and he takes care of my 2 dogs. He does an outstanding job. I also know several people who are Zen K9 customers and they are all satisfied. I have never heard or seen any credible evidence to suggest that K9 or Tibor harms the dogs.

Tibor also takes my own children (ages 9-14) with him on occasion to help walk the dogs. My children have learned how to handle dogs and genuinely enjoy working with Tibor. We have even named Tibor in our will to take our dogs should something happen to my wife and I.

The information that has recently been circulated on the internet is very damaging to Zen K9. My law firm has been retained by Zen K9 and we are now investigating this matter. The serious statements about animal abuse and destruction will be investigated. If any of these statements made are false, then the people who made them will be held legally accountable for their comments.

I ask anyone who has any information about this incident to contact me immediately. If false statements are made, we will take immediate legal action.

Lastly, the email below was sent out to appear as it was sanctioned or sent by PETA. It was not sent by PETA. We have contacted PETA and offered to meet with them immediately. They have our full cooperation. Today I spoke to PETA and they informed me that they currently have no plans to take any action against Tibor or Zen K9 because there is no evidence behind any of the accusations being made."
