I didn't see that episode; but I have seen him use his foot on the back leg of a dog that was giving its owner a fit chasing cars as they passed. He didn't kick it, just touched its back leg to distract it. I know he uses hard training on dogs to force them to becalm and submissive, but I think he really tries to wear them out; I have never seen him hurt one; even when he gets bitten. I didn't think his shows were live, and if they are not, he certainly would have edited out anything as bad as kicking a dog. I watch his shows; but he would hate me I'm afraid; My dog has me trained, and I love it.
