There was no way Cesar could have let go of the leash at that point. He would have endangered his crew, the family, and the other dog. To many bad things could have happened if he dropped the leash. Instead Cesar let the dog flip out on him so that no one else would get hurt. I really don't think there was any thing else he could have done. if he gave the dog some more slack it would have bit him, so that was not an option. Cesar rode it out and waited for the dog to tire out, and as soon as he saw the dog give a little, he grabbed the scruff and put the dog on the ground. I've been in similar situations and i would have done the same thing. If the dog is trying to bite me, i'm not gonna let him. I'm going to do whatever it takes to prevent it.
Again, didn't see the whole episode but i'm pretty sure Cesar didn't try the tap again LOL |
I'm not sure I agree with that assessment. As I said, I think the dog wanted Cesar to give him some slack on the leash, in and of itself. Not to get slack so he could bite Cesar, just to get free. How could the dog NOT be choking? He is in a choke hold! I'm not saying the dog was on the verge of death, but of course the dog was trying to get air.
It's a matter of common sense that there would be other people ready to step in to handle the situation if something happened. To NOT have that would be really stupid. What if the leash broke?
