I cannot believe he did not prepare for that poodle coming in, telling the "owner" of the poodle, who didn't seem that upset so I wonder if she really was, not to let the poodle get within the lunging limits of that dog! He should have known that dog would attack that poodle & it did look like Charlotte got it on the rump! Especially with her tethered there as her owner pet/loved on that little poodle, riling her jealousy in that confined little & then they allowed that little poodle to get well-within that known-biter's reach right after. Poor planning! Poor little poodle looked so scared. The lack of anticipation/preparation could have hurt that totally helpless little red dog. That trainer didn't speak up about what to do until the attack was already starting.

He should have had them bring Lucy in & out a few times with no loving on her as Charlotte was given a peanut-butter filled kong or distracted with some liver treats, just to get Charlottle a little prepared/desensitized a bit before the ladies greeted & then saved the petting of the other dog until long after Charlotte has better self-control. He rushed that whole thing needlessly. With the risk he took with that defenseless poodle, I wouldn't let him handle any behavior problems my dog had!

Hopefully next episode, he'll start Charlotte's owner on a good behavior modification training program.
