who hosted a “Dog Daddy” training event in November 2023 - you might recall our posts calling for a boycott of his business at that time.
Despite extensive outreach and sharing of evidence against such methods, the "resort" and its owner, Rich DuBarton, remain unapologetic and plan to continue their association with Deoliveira, and as of now, “Dog Daddy” Augusto DeOliveira has claimed to be returning to this facility to work with more of the public’s dogs this April.
After acknowledging and dismissing the clear evidence of the dangers to their community that these methods pose, they have chosen to double down on their support for these methods.
🚩NEW JERSEY: Take a stand against Westbrook Pet Resort for promoting harmful dog training practices 🚩
YOUR VOICE MATTERS! Spread the word, contact local media, and please share this video. Let’s ensure your concerns are heard and the safety of your dogs is prioritized. Harmful training methods like these will not go unchallenged.
This situation underscores a larger issue within the unregulated dog training industry.
Many members of the public, not being behavior experts, may unknowingly expose their dogs to harmful practices under the guise of training. We believe it’s our responsibility to raise awareness about such methods, especially when they compromise animal welfare and mislead the public.
Our goal is not to vilify, but to inform and protect. We urge viewers to share this video and join us in advocating for safe, humane, and ethical dog training practices. It’s time to hold those who exploit public trust accountable and promote a higher standard of care in the dog training community.
Your voice matters. Boycott Westbrook Pet Resort to send a powerful message that these outdated and harmful tactics have no place in your community.

To those who say “But he’s working with aggressive dogs! How would you address these issues?” For those swayed by Augusto’s claim of working with aggressive dogs, it’s crucial to understand that the evidence from these events tells a different story. The overwhelming majority of these dogs are everyday dogs, being provoked into aggression through fear and rough handling. We have extensive footage of dogs outside of his events coexisting just fine with other dogs and humans in the immediate area without displaying signs of aggression. Labeling them as ‘aggressive’ is a convenient scapegoat, diverting attention from practices that are, by modern standards, clear malpractice in dog behavior modification and training. It’s vital for the public to see this for what it is: a serious deviation from ethical training methods. Even when addressing aggressive behavior, the approach taken by outdated trainers in such environments is counterproductive. Proper protocol involves de-escalation, not escalation, to address the root causes of anxiety and fear that can lead to aggression. The video below showcases the practices of de-escalation employed by modern behavior experts, focusing on resolving underlying issues rather than simply suppressing symptoms. Consider the scenario: if a dog exhibiting signs of distress were subjected to aggressive handling, the likely response would be increased thrashing and lunging, a clear sign of escalating fear and stress. Such methods fail to address the true behavioral problems and instead focus on temporarily silencing them. This video aims to illuminate effective, compassionate techniques that truly understand and meet the needs of dogs facing behavioral challenges.

Dog daddy is out there working with only aggressive dogs on the point of being euthanized. He isnt out there training pomeranians how to do tricks.

[@simplylive2466]

I understand this rationale. But I also see that it is not acceptable to "successfully" control the behaviour of aggressive dogs, if that involves animal cruelty. That is like saying, if you beat your dog into submission daily, so they cower and are terrified and therefore don't act aggressive anymore because they are so terrified, that is "success" (not saying Dog Daddy is that extreme, just giving an example). Would family services be ok if you beat a child regularly to control their behaviour until they are too frightened to do things? No, we have to learn other ways to modify behaviour, without abuse. I think the "argument" is best resolved if animal welfare officers in each location he goes, assesses Dog Daddy's videos. And if they deem it cruelty, then Dog Daddy charged with cruelty, same as anyone else would be. If they don't deem it cruelty, then other trainers still have the right to assert that it's not great practice, but it would be defamation to label Dog Daddy as acting in a criminal/abusive way

@@aneliahutson3191 you believe him, when he calls those dogs aggressive or difficult? Oh well, he certainly is a good actor. George was an absolute sweetheart, simply untrained (meaning he knew no tricks like sit, recall and heel) but otherwise had a great and easy going personality. Moira was zero aggressive, just moderately reactive and very hyper. Not a difficult dog either,just needed mental stimulation and training, yet he failed her. He even nurtured her hyperness which causes even more stress in dogs. A good approach no matter the breed and problem is always to build up trust and respect and teach the dog calmness no matter what, trusting you with everything.Only that creates a reaxed and happy mind which will lead to a behaved and happy dog. Not hyping them up even more. It's dissapointing that he uses those sweet dogs to act like he is "training" difficult or aggressive dogs just to prove a point which his fans already believe anyway and his critics see through.

Hi Zak. What about concentrating on training dogs and not on maligning your competitors?

[@wigi-gum6093]

Hi! I'm a LIMA based dog trainer who specializes in animal behavior and more specifically bite cases and reactivity. What dog daddy is doing is called flooding which is quite a counter intuitive way of training because while it may trigger a shut down in the moment and airgo no "aggression". The underlying issue is not confronted. Intact, often times I see clients who do this behavior and end up with dogs with worse flare ups later on. The underlying cause of the aggression must be resolved, whether that's anxiety, fear, pain, or stress. Once you change the dogs feelings towards a particular behavior they become more confident and self assured. Most dogs that act out in aggression are doing so due to a lack of confidence and a sense of weariness. Meaning dog daddy's flooding technique will only cause worse flare ups to occur later on. Critism is how any industry grows! Most clients do know how to spot bad practice when they see it so it's almost an obligation on decent dog trainers to speak out for the safety of the clients and their dogs. Your point is week if it's only that Zak is criticizing Dog Daddy. If he(or his fans) cannot handle criticism, then he is weak skinned.

[@LAStars-sratS]

@@wigi-gum6093 except you are wrong with your assumptions. Many testimonials will prove that the effects lasted, go read them. He does address the problem, you fail to see the underlying issue is addressed and it is up to the owner to continue with instructions given. In most videos he tells ppl what is going on in the dogs mind, such as insecurity, and that the dog needs to be confident in his owners abilities. You remind me of a story… A veterinarian goes to a farm to treat an issue with a bull. After hours of trying many different things to deal with the bull, the vet surrenders and says”I don’t understand, I did everything by the book just as it said to do” to which the Farmer replies “but the problem is the bull didn’t read the book”. I deal with problem dogs that come to me after the positive only (treat addicted) method has not worked. I have lots of real time experience. Most people have never dealt with highly aggressive dogs and haven’t a clue.

[@wigi-gum6093]

@@LAStars-sratS simply because you acknowledge that a dog is aggressive because it's insecure doesn't then make the method not flawed.

[@InanaNinsianna]

It’s really hard for me to write this, because even after many years, the pain is still there. I thought I could help this dog, but his owners had done so much to make him reactive that it was too much for me and I was in over my head. I couldn’t walk anywhere without him going completely crazy he lunged at people, dogs, bicycles -you name it. No amount of loving kindness and patience was working and I went to trainer after trainer, who wouldn’t take him, because they didn’t want to be responsible if anything happened. I even drove 500 miles to see if a man who ran a forever home for aggressive dogs would take him, but he wanted $5000 that I didn’t have. One day my landlord came into the house without being invited and the dog bit him (he just grabbed his coat), but he told me I had to leave. I had no money and nowhere to go. For a while I kept him at a private dog rescue in return for helping them every day. But one day the rescue owner’s husband decided I had to take the dog and leave because the dog was barking and lunging at his kids as they put sticks through the chain link fence. I was out of options. I didn’t even have a home for myself. There’s more to the story but my point is that if Dog Daddy had been around, I would have gladly allowed the temporary stricter measures that would have allowed him to be adoptable. I had nowhere to turn. All of your so-called “humane” trainers turned their backs and were perfectly fine with him having to be euthanized. Please think about that as you continue this campaign against someone who is willing to take on aggressive dogs, whose only crime was having bad owners. Without people like Dog Daddy, the only option you are leaving them in many instances is death.

[@weedhigh2564]

i was in a similar situation, but with my first dog, got her while i was homeless she was about 4 months old, she learned basic obedience pretty fast and at the time i did not trained her more as it seemed unnecessary, when she was about a year and a half i took her to cool off in a local public fountain which is in the middle of our town square and there are caffee's around and shit, now this was on a sunday morning in late spring, we went there she'd play in the fountain with me and we did her basic obedience drills right there. So, people noticed and started to pay attention to us going aww how cute and i could hear cameras go off but i was focused on my dog, when i finally turn around i see like 20 people stand there, phones on recording me, so we get out of the fountain and people start applauding me and one from the crowd comes up to me and gives me a 100 e bill and said "i'd put in the hat but i noticed it's full and i didnt want the wind to blow it off" so then i look at my hat (i put my hat upside down adn put my phone inside so the wind would not blow it away and it would not get wet) and it was full to the brim with money, now this was a cowboy hat so it was big, all in all i got 800euros. so then i finally had means to get off the street, i got a nice 1 bedroom apartment that allowed dogs and we were happy untill during one of these sessions i held to raise money a little terrier attacked my dog and scratched her nose. Since that day she became reactive to little dogs and went into prey drive as soon as she saw one. So, to avoid problems i tought i'd seek out the help of a professional, the first one says, i cannot work with this dog she doesnt take food from me i dont know what to do with her, the second one i cannot work this dog she is too stubborn and doesnt get that we are training at all and doesnt even make an effort, third one had his own excuse, so did the fourth and the fifth at which point i had enough and i went into Thanos mode, "fuck it, imma do it myself" so i hit the books, found the proper people to follow and listen to. Said dog is now 9, she is a certified CERTIFIED service dog and search and rescue, she can go duck hunting with my father as she learned that as well as beeing an absolute chaddinna (she is female so she cant be a chad) of a mentor dog. She is raising my younger dog quite nicely and i can use her with my clients dogs as well if i see that mentorship will get the job done. Everybody in our town knows about her, she became quite legendary with her solo walks and our races who gets home first from the other part of town (so famous in fact police let us do our thing and just watched nobody got hurt in the process instead of taking the dog and car and licence away from me like they could have done). We could be at the riverside, which is on the completely opposite side of the city we lived in and i could say to her "go home" and she would go home using all sidewalks, going through traffic lights properly, crossing the street at the proper crossings looking left and right before she crossed. What Zak is doing to DD is not only stupid but hypocritical as well and i cannot wait for the day that the table is turned on him, so far it hasnt happened yet because DD asked his fans not to do anything about it, but even he will have enough of this BS one that and i will be ready for when that day comes, i will have prerolled joints and a ton of popcorn and healthy snacks for my doggos made in advance so when the show starts imma enjoy it from start to finish, along with my WELL trained dogs (something Zak cant really say for himself)

@@weedhigh2564 what a great story! I’m really glad it worked out so well. Coco really wasn’t even my dog but the owners (who had kept him in a dark area of their home when they went on vacation) were going to have him put down so I asked if they could let me try to do something with him. I had had about 25 dogs over the course of my life but none of them had had an aggression problem. Coco was good with me and he was good with my Chihuahua, who kept him in line. But the trainers did not want the liability and all of the shelters deemed him unadoptable in his aggressive state. I only wish that someone like Augusto had been around at the time. if I could’ve kept him and I had my own place I would have. I think it’s terrible that Zak’s status as a dog influencer allows him to make facts out of opinions, and to deem effective and non-cruel or abusive training methods as unacceptable when in the right hands they are neither cruel nor abusive and offer the only hope to save otherwise lost animals.❤️

As an owner of a rescued blk Lab that has behavior issues she's come such a long way simply by me watching and practicing some of DogDaddys YT videos. Stop slandering and putting others down.

I don't know why you started this campaign against DD, but I have to admit that I'm very disappointed that you have. This reminds me of how people started going after Cesar Milan for abusing dogs. Both of these men have a natural ability with dogs. And I sincerely believe that both have saved thousands of dogs lives, and in the process, educated the owners, because 99.9% of the time, it's the uneducated owners that create these fear aggressive dogs. In nature, dogs correct each other, and it's not always pretty. The dogs DD is working with are very unstable dogs. I can't imagine how else folks except to gain control of these dogs, to get them in a calmer state, in order to start the rehabilitation process. Please stop. If you are effective in shutting down dog trainers like DD, and certain types of training equipment, you will be responsible for a lot a dogs being put down, or dog's facing a life time in a shelter, because it's not adoptable. This whole thing is ridiculous, and will become a public safety problem.

It's so funny, the same ccpdt certificate that I took. Cesar Malone failed. 😮 Man doesn't save dogs even with his self proclaimed genius. His own dog had to be put down after attacking another dog. A woman got permanently disabled at one of his training facilities. Countless of his TV Clients had to seek other trainers because there dogs had been in worse condition than before he had seen to them. The majority of my clients who have had their dogs bite somebody were using Cesar Malone as reference and pinning their dogs. After a couple weeks of steady and consistent training their quality of life was improved immensely. Sincerely someone who's prevented many dogs from being put down.

This is clearly a hot topic, and it's probably good that this discussion is happening. It's sad that most of these severe cases could be avoided if the dog owners were better educated to begin with, and didn't choose a particular breed because they think they're cool. Last thing I'd like to bring up, is how do we talk about things like this, without resorting to trashing people? Nobody wins, and nobody learns. It just stirs up emotions, and creates hate. I just wish that Zack would have taken a different approach, if he wanted to open up a dialog about DD's technics of what you referred to as "flooding", I think it could have been handled in a better way. Thank you for what you do for dogs.

[@wigi-gum6093]

@fallbrkgrl I think the problem here is semantics right? Like ultimately the techniques being used by dog daddy are harmful so it would be advantageous to bring the harm it causes to the public eye, yes? There was no Name calling on Zacks part and I do beleive that boycotting this particular venue (given that it is a board and train facility and should know better) is an effective way of getting more eyes on the issue. And a good way of holding those in the industry accountable for pushing harmful practices. When it comes to the safety of animals I feel we should all be a little less concerned for semantics or polite-politics. Ultimately lots of people are now paying attention to the issue because Zak spoke out! Even if it isn't in as a polite fashion as some would like it to be! People are paying attention and having discussions like these which is great! But I'll agree with you on this. This discussion needs to be more about educating and sharing information. Rather than calling people jealous, cowards, what have you. Though in Dog Daddy's case I do not shy from referring to him as abusive, nor do I in the case of Cesar Malone. Think about the way they handle dogs than stop and think. How would these actions be perceived if they were children? Children and dogs often have the same simple thought process and the same ability to make connections. This is a bit anecdotal but i feel this serves as a great parallel to the concept of flooding and behavior suppression. I have autism and am late diagnosed. Because of this, I had been abused during my upbringing as a means of suppressing my autistic behaviors. This led me to mask(the act of hiding symptoms to appear "normal") up until recently. Masking has left me with several other conditions that I now have to treat! This in turn has caused me to have to "catch up" and learn new ways to properly accommodate myself and recover from years of masking. This in practice, is the same in regards to when you flood a dog. The dog is punished for the symptom, rather than treated for the cause. Though in the case of dogs, they are less socially aware and will then more likely have far worse flare ups in aggression down the road.

[@fallbrkgrl]

@@wigi-gum6093 Kind of off topic. I'd like to ask your opinion on something... I follow a trainer, Robert Cabral. He has handled thousands of dogs. In his past he ran a non profit dog rescue and rehab. He also continues to volunteer at a shelter in Las Angeles, training staff, and working with adoptable dogs. He feels that shelters, and rescues spend so much time and resources trying to rehab the fear aggressive dogs, when that time could be better spent on working with the dogs that are more easily adopted out. With so many dogs in shelters and rescues, in your professional opinion, would it be wiser to euthanize, then to rehab? I'm not talking about dogs that have families that are desperate to be able to keep their dogs, and the public safe. It's something that has been rolling around in my head for some time. I get trying to save as many lives (dogs) as we can, but it kind of does seem counterintuitive to work saw hard to save those few, when you could save so many others. Your thoughts please...

Exactly 💯Zak isn’t going to put himself out there with these aggressive dogs, because he lacks the skills and he’s fearful of them and he knows the dogs will pickup on his fear.

[@user-dl7nn1yr1f]

More scaremongering, I hate how so-called 'professionals' try to decimate other trainers on their channels, just so cheap. If you've ever had a dog that makes a massive fuss about the vet, the vet will gently but firmly hold them until they realise that they're not going to get away with the behaviour and they're fine, the dogs make a massive fuss jumping, pulling, barking, snarling, yelping as it has worked in the past to get people away from them and their owners. The Dog Daddy communicates through a normal lead and flat collar, that this is not acceptable, he does not hit, strangle, injure, or kill! He saves. Zac actually says in this video that it's an unregulated profession, so what makes him more knowledgeable than the Dog Daddy? The dog daddy has helped a lot of dogs that were going to be put down, is this his area of expertise? As I thought Zac was a 'positive reinforcement only' trainer, which is great for collies and labs but try this on a different breed! However, I am not up to date as I stopped watching when he took his collie pup to a dog park where they were clearly scared hiding under a bench from other dogs and he commented that this was fine 😂 I'm not sure he knows about dog behaviour! This is one of the main jobs where there are many techniques and many different dogs and behavioural issues which need individual help, but people's ego's seem to get in the way. This is ridiculous scaremongering to try boost Zacs own money etc. Just get a life, how old is he now? This is not high school, stop ganging up with other trainers with hate speech and defamation.

[@zakgeorge]

I appreciate your perspective, but this isn’t about ‘decimating’ other trainers; it’s about advocating for methods aligned with the latest research in animal behavior. The comparison to a vet’s handling is not equivalent to training methods. Vets are addressing immediate medical needs, not long-term behavioral changes. In dog training, especially with behavioral issues, the approach must be holistic, addressing not just the surface behavior but the underlying causes. While Augusto may have helped some dogs, the concern lies in the potential long-term psychological impact of his methods. As for the diversity of dog breeds and behaviors, indeed, different dogs require different approaches. However, the core principles of positive reinforcement and understanding canine psychology apply broadly. This is where professional expertise, backed by scientific research, becomes crucial. Regarding my stance, it’s about promoting methods that are humane and effective across a wide range of canine temperaments and behaviors, not just specific breeds. My focus is on the welfare of the dogs and the safety of their handlers, which should be the priority in any training methodology.

[@hippiebits2071]

I noticed no "firm but gentle holding" whatsoever. Ethical Veterinarians (who make up the overwhelming majority of vets) do not unnecessarily manhandle dogs, string them up, or allow staff to do so as routine practice.To do so would be counter productive and potentially compromise patient care. Fortunately, the veterinary industry IS regulated far beyond medical protocols and a reasonable level of professionalism is expected across the board.

[@user-dl7nn1yr1f]

Yes, I was speaking to a German colleague who said that there are some county's in Germany that require their residents to take seminars and pass a test to obtain a licence if they now want to buy/adopt a dog, too. That would certainly help us in the UK right now as the Government has stupidly banned a whole breed of dog instead of cracking down on the actual issue, that anyone can own a dog even if they have no idea how to care for or train them! Seems like Germany have the right idea going forward. Although there are many different perspectives on techniques, so having one overall consensus may lead to railroading trainers into one specific type of training which may not work for all. Positive Only training for instance.

You are quite right. I rescued a dog who was aggressive to strange women. I quickly understood that it was because he was afraid that they would take him away from me.

Beckman has wide experience training animals, not just dogs. He is more low-key in is video presentations, but he is very effective. Dog Daddy has experience in training more dogs that Zac George will likely have in a lifetime. And his customers are loyal. His subscriber base on KZbin rose so quickly Zac George was afraid he would be knocked off the No. 1 position. So now he is attacking and trying to cancel DD and threatening to do the same to other balanced trainers, including Beckman (who is way out of his league!)

hey hey hey now, wait a minute... in american terms im highschool grad educated too, that has nothing to do with someones ability to train dogs. I just had better shit to do when i was young than go to school....like you know, SURVIVE on my own.... it does not mean im stupid tho (even tho, to be completely honest, my mom and my exes would probably argue to the contrary but...) and it doesnt preclude me from beeing a good dog trainer, in fact i think im pretty damn awesome as a trainer, my success rate is super high, all my clients are happy with the work and some got me even more clients, i dont shy away from a challenge even if im not yet experienced in that kind of work i educate myself plus i have an excellent mentor, i would kinda argue that its precisely the life i led in my youth that got me in the position to be able to help dogs the way i can because from all the trainers that i now know, maybe for one or 2 i could say they have that natural feeling for the dog like i do. Not to mention i trained so far 2 of my own dogs to very high degrees, im talking search and rescue (1 for extreme conditions and she is going to get her chopper hours in soon), both service dogs that can provide a wide variety of services, depending on what you attune them to do, both great for duck hunting and if they were purebred i could even compete with them which is a real shame i cant because when we do it for fun they both easily smoked their competition and the hunters were super pissed at me and super impressed at the same time, there comes this huge guy, long unkept hair, long unkept beard, sunglasses on dressed all black with 2 black dogs, mutts for them, and he completely smokes all other participants the first and only time he was there (i saw they had nothing to offer me and nobody was interested in my services because of my father, a gift that keeps on giving, they simply assumed im just as much of an asshole as he is and who can really blame them, with my appearance and approach at the time). So yeah, its precisely because i was "too cool for school" in my youth that i developed this touch with dogs as i was constantly surrounded by them. Academic prowess has nothing to do here, there are other factors way more important for a person to be a good trainer than how well you did at maths in 8th grade, things no school will teach you and things Zak did not learn so far, thats why he sucks as a trainer, it has nothing to do with his lack of a degree, it has everything to do with his refusal to see things from a different perspective than his own and about these flawed principles he holds so near and dear, and about his hipocritical approach to this whole ordeal with DD not to mention his inability do differenciate and properly rate and value academic results from actual life experience you get while working with said animals.

I have ONLY seen amazing positive results from Dog Daddy's methods! I'm not one to make comparrisons very often, but because I was always amazed when watching Cezar (sp?) the Dog Whisperer, I'm even more amazed Dog Daddy! They both have an amazing passion towards the dogs & their well being & a person would have to be blind or have an ulterior motive to not be able to or not want to see how much they care for dogs & want to get them the help they need! It is people like zak who are a potential threat to the well being of problematic dogs! In a video where Dog Daddy got to sit with the wolves, they took to him, showing massive trust & affection towards him! His compassion is genuine! You can see how much that means to him & how much he is treasuring the moment! So what I'm trying to say, is that don't pass judgement just from the snippet of video in zak's video, without going & checking out Dog Daddy's vids!

[@meaganpelzer1447]

@@zakgeorge Hey Zak, I've noticed some recent disagreements with other trainers. While everyone is entitled to their opinions, it seems like things have taken a negative turn. I wanted to share my perspective in the hope of fostering constructive dialogue. I understand that passionate discussions can arise around dog training methods. However, it's crucial to remember that these debates impact not only trainers but also others and their businesses and livelihoods. It feels disheartening to see professionals being canceled rather than engaging in productive conversations. Perhaps there's an opportunity to promote a more inclusive and understanding community. Encouraging open dialogue allows for the exchange of ideas, helping everyone learn and grow. As dog lovers, our shared goal is to improve the lives of our dogs, and a united approach can make a more significant impact. Let's aim for a community where differing opinions are respected, and where we can work together to elevate the field of dog training. As at this point you are becoming like these training your attacking because you are treating people in the same way you claim these trainers to treat dogs which is quite sad to see

[@antoniobragah8305]

Ok, question: How must a dog then be subdued? Do you convince the dog into submission and calmness, do you talk to the dog into submission and calmness or do you teach the dog to connect to it's inner self and find enlightenment and then calms down by itself or do you handle the dog into submission and calmness and put its mind to rest that there are no threats? I'm confused Zak, talk to me here.

[@alexsarbu3978]

That's the wrong approach. If a dog is attacking, you stop that attack, period. If you can, you avoid any physical harm. But this is not training, it's managing a dog attack. When you're training, you DON'T provoke a dog into attacking. Instead, you use techniques like counter-conditioning and desensitization, and watching such training is compared by experts in dog aggression to watching the paint dry. The less educated people often mistakenly assume that one can only stop a behavior while it's happening - and they, naturally, reach the wrong conclusion that punishment is the way. What can you do with punishment, if the dog is afraid of you? You have confirmed his worst fears: you ARE the aggressor, you ARE the bad person; because YOU HURT HIM. Maybe you manage to temporarily suppress the behavior so the dog won't bark and lunge for the moment; but he will be more afraid than before. Real training is about changing the negative association to a positive one. Instead of making the dog so afraid of your presence that he wouldn't even bark, why not showing him that good things will happen when you're around? It's not an instant process (and in serious cases it MUST be done by a professional), but it works very well.

[@zakgeorge]

[@user-dl7nn1yr1f]

@alexsarbu3978 This sounds like reactive aggression. If you've seen police attack dogs training, they hold them back by their collar and the dogs pull against it, heightening frustration. This, though not exactly the same, is similar to reactionary dogs being pulled back on the lead by their owner and if left untrained can escalate. These are not bad dogs, they have learnt a behaviour that works for them and the dog daddy communicates that this is unacceptable. He uses the lead and collar and taps and strokes them to desensitise them to his touch, to show he's not a threat. Sounds like the dog you mentioned was fine once the lead was off, but we live in a society where the dog must be on a lead in public. But the training doesn't stop there, he doesn't just leave after, he offers continued support.
