I thought I'd give a fair objective review of Master Christian.
Firstly, I find it obligatory to mention that I did not pay Master Christian.
I first spoke with Master Christian on 8/24/19. I had a perculliar situation, as I'm not from the area. I was looking to buy a dog in his area, I wanted to use his services because:
He's an unbiased 3rd party
He could train the dog to understand commands, making my ownership easier
He could facilitate recieving a dog to ensure that I do not get scammed on a trip to pick up a dog.
Here's a few points where Master Christian failed:
He gave several opinions which materially was false.
He mentioned that his consultancy rate was $100 an hour, not to mention that he was literally driving or out and about the times that he called me.
He mentioned that he emailed me a 'contract', a contract that he admits was a lazy contract with no specific details.
When I repeatedly asked for the contract to verify price and details, he mentions that he sent it, but it was never received, no proof was ever sent of him sending the email.
When asked specifically if his deposit would be returned if the dog never shows up, he explains that it would not.
He mentions that he would take credit card as a form of payment, but would need to charge 8-10% to cover taxes.
Events:
We had 5 calls with each other that lasted 20, 5, 9, 5 minutes long each respectively.
Our first call was to figure out his services, and describe the situation I was in.
He mentioned that his services would cost $1250 for a 14-day advanced obedience training, and an extra $50 for materials.
The following calls was to exchange details about a potential drop off.
Our last two calls were specifically of him asking for a $200 non-refundable deposit.
When I mentioned that I wanted things to be set in stone before I paid him, he wanted to assure me of something that would end up not happening.
I sent the seller and him a short 1-page contract via email, I requested pictures, unique identfiers, pictures of the dog, and timeline for delivery and action items.
In our 5th and last phone call, he mentioned that he skimmed the document, it was clear in the remainder of our conversation that it was a lie.
My conclusions about Master Christian:
Master Christian makes or alludes to guarantees that are not guarantees so that he can get paid.
Master Christian will actively decieve you by saying that he's done things that he has not and are rather consistent and highly difficult to forge (sending emails).
My opinion is that he is lazy (never did a 1-2 minute read of an email to detail the delivery)
Speaks of things he is unknowledgeable about, and tries to gouge for more money.
Use him if you want, he probably does the job just fine. I don't have any first hand account of any of his primary services, but it is obvious (to me) that he is willing to say anything to get your money. read more
