He helps people with training problems and issues with their dogs, such as aggression, leash pulling, etc. Many feels his methods are too harsh, but I have only seen very few times where I felt this was so, and at the same time he deals with dogs that people have been told to put down, etc. for being too aggressive. Sometimes he helps dogs that nobody else can help. He shows how much dog behavioral problems are a result of the owners behavior towards the dog, which I beleive to be true. Most all training or behavioral problems can be traced directly back to how the owners deal with their dogs. He shows them how to stop those behaviors that they are doing, shows how it confuses or upsets the dog, and many times has helped people with very aggressive dogs and other problems. Yes the shows are edited for time, no way he could show everything that possibly happens in a half hour or hour show, but the gist of it is people cause their dog's behavioral problems, and he helps them to learn how to change that. There have been instances where he did things I would not, but at the same time I am not working with a dog who wants to kill me so I leve that to his discretion since I don't have all the facts about each particular case. I have never seen him be outright abusive and he genuinely seems to care about the dogs and wants to help them. That is my point of veiw. I have not seen every episode, so I can only comment on what I have seen.
