In this video, Cesar Millan uses a choke collar to subdue an aggressive dog, finally pinning it on the ground. Millan is bit several times in the process, and I question the health of the dog during this clip (blue tongue). Debra F. Horwitz, DVM, DACVB, a board-certified veterinary behaviorist, offers her commentary of the video here: dog training gone bad." |
Poor dog and so unnecessary. There are much more kind, positive ways of achieving the same things, ways that are fun for the dog and where he doesn't have to bite to defend himself, further traumatizing him and the owner, if the owner is the one trying this method and gets bitten by his own dog.
