I have had some of the best behaved dogs EVER by using most of his methods. I modded them to fit my homes needs. But he is spot on. What most people dont realize is that most of it is nothing special. It's ALOT of common sense things. My female Dobe is 95% voice activated. She know our tone of voice and what it means and what she is expected to do.
I think he chokes out and abuses his dogs because I SEE him choke out and abuse dogs. A chow laying flat on the group with its mouth gaping and tongue hanging, unconsious, is not "training".

His methods are nothing short of tough guy intimidation and bullying.

ALL my dogs are the most well mannered polite "after you no after you!" dogs you could ever hope for, and they are ALL completely voice trained. I have never touched my dogs (of any of the dozen breeds I've owned), ever, in training them or getting them to do what I want. Hands on my dogs is petting only. I have never resorted to "training collars", slapping pushing pulling positioning or scruffing. These methods are barbaric, disrespectful and unnessicary.

If someone asks you to have a seat in a chair and points to it, you do so willingly and will all speed

if someone grabs you by the collar of your shirt and starts to manhandle and strongarm you into anything, you are going to get angry. hey! why you gotta get rough, Im a reasonable guy, why dontcha just ASK!
