how is this justifiable?

That video was removed from youtube so you can't see it anymore. Maybe someone can explain lol

just showed a cop throwing around and screaming at a dog.

I have a friend who has a police dog. He's half wolf, and he has to do this every once in awhile. Of course, being part wolf, he has to re-establish dominance. I don't think it happens very often, but his dog gets just as rough with him. It's almost like combatting for the dominant role.

Neither ever get hurt though, and he treats his dog really good. It's funny the dog only knows commands in German. So, if you say sit, he just looks at you. Lol. He is very well taken care of.

You can do a serch on YouTube for "Baltimore Police Dog Training." It's still there.

As an LEO myself and having numerous family members involved in Law Enforcement with some (as well as myself) served or serving on K-9 patrol. Alot of the general public does not understand the training involved with these K-9's. These officers have to be able to demonstrate FULL control at all times over these dogs in critical situations or you or your dept. can face severe liability. These K-9's arent trained for the Eukanuba championship, They are trained officers to work in often dangerous and rigerous situations. BUT rest assured these K-9's are better taken care of than most children. Just my 2 cents.

I understand the concept and it will work. My problem with that video is imo that dude does not have the power to do the technique and it is not working!!! Move on to another tactic!!! He is more or less just throwing the dog around and the dog is getting out of it. If he can't keep the dog down why would the dog think the man is the alpha? He is not much of an alpha imo and should just try something else other then jacking the dog up. Just my

I agree, if you look at the dogs body language, it looks like he thinks the officer is trying to play. Submissive behavior should look like the tail between the legs, right?

Lol!! I don't know what you are talking about. I think my parents finally just decided to let us do whatever, as long as there weren't any cops involved. Where is the fun in that?

Don't forget, in that specific vid, there is as much training going on for the officer as the dog.
