Ok so I do not have to quote everyone and do a dozen more posts.
Actually no Mick Vicks dogs had to go to very specific groups that could manage these dogs under the laws in the states they went to and the guys that in took them first had to do an assessment and with those place them only those meeting highest standards.
I actully would not have been about to intact a vicks dog at the time that they where in need as I was in a place that does not by law allow this breed.
That be a whole other debate thread on breed bands and dogs bites and I not ready to open that can of worms. LOL
As for Ceaser these dog where looked at by vet and PHD behaviourist for liabilty reasons and for sure they not be allowing him to work with them.
Ceaser is not the only one that works with the worse of the worse there are any number of trainers out there from Dr Dunbar, Dr McConnell, Dr Bourque, Dr Dodman, Dr yin, Dr. Overall, Pat dennsion, Pat Miller, Emma Paresons,
Lesile Mcdermitt, Terry Ryan, Jean Donaldson, Brenda Aloff, and many many many more that can and do work with these guys . Oh yes the folks at dog town.
You say he does not abuse I keep saying shock collars are abuse and he uses them. NowI find he uses static mats.The collar he uses the one he made been cited for choking dogs, cutting of air to the brain of the dogs and their for rendering harm to them.
I just not sure how one can say that is not abuse. But then again it only a dog not anything packing the ability to think feel or reason at any level worth building trust and respect. Humm that was once said about wait couldit be the female humans at one time.

I watched an episode the other day where he used a shock collar on a HIGHLY aggressive American bulldog named Bella. The shock collar was literally on a vibrate, he did it on himself, he let someone else get "shocked" by it, the highest level was like 170 and he used it on a 50. You can tell it didn't hurt the dog, it just made her be like "oh man, better not do that anymore!" With dogs like that big and strong, I don't really believe it's doing any damage to them. I do think shock collars should only be used as a last resort, though. I would never use a shock collar on a little dog. And he wasn't
abusing the shock collar. He used it a few times to get the lesson straight, and then the dog clearly understood so he didn't have to use the collar anymore. I just don't think it's that bad in certain cases but it all depends.
