This article has a few major problems:

  • It is way too long
  • It has bad formatting
  • It is written like an autobiography
  • The format is not clear and is confusing

Tags have been added to this page. If the above issues are addressed, there shouldn't be a problem Olly150 18:36, 18 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

In addition, some of the prose is very "flowery" - some of the stuff about the travels reads like a travel guide, etc. I fixed some of it but it needs more major work. – ukexpat (talk) 15:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure where you get your info about the conflict of interest. I wish we could do instant messages or speak on the phone. The wiki people are giving me a very hard time with this page & I'm not sure how to fix 100% of those issues.

I will shorten it a lot in the next few days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pierrerivard (talkcontribs) 17:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

The problem I can see with this article is that it reads exactly the same as profiles submitted by the subject when attending seminars etc. My scepticism about impartiality is not helped by the fact that Pierre Rivard works for Bergin!

"inventor of concept" doubtful

edit

According to the Wikipedia article on Guide Dogs, service dogs for the blind go back hundreds of years. It is not clear what Bonnie Bergin did do, but she was clearly not "inventor of the concept of the service dog." Perhaps she coined the term? The overly-broad claim in the article obscures her true contributions to the field. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:AAF6:7500:1828:1E91:62D9:4C6E (talk) 15:19, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Bergin University / Bergin College should have a page

edit

It seems odd that the details about Bergin College of Canine Studies are only on this page.

The details about the University / College have changed. The campus moved to Oregon, with administrative offices still in Penngrove. I expect the accrediting has changed, with a move to a new state. At some point the name changed from "University" to "College". I don't know if it plans to change back. 2600:1700:4380:17C0:2C44:92CB:D93D:F799 (talk) 13:15, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
