If you guys are thinking it was ok to chain it to a treadmill until it was "tired and good" then obviously it is ok to chain it to the back of a pickup truck and have it run until it behaves.
There is always a person with the dog on the treadmill in his videos, someone there either walking with, or watching the dog carefully. That is far different than running a dog behind a truck where you cannot see it, where it ios easy for you to accellerate beyond the dog's running capability, and when you cannot judge how tired it is.

If the employee wasn't watching over the dog, the employee screwed up. But I still maintain that we do not know all the facts of the case, and nopthing I have seen on the videos seems at all abusive. Mr. Millan obviously loves dogs - I have seen him get bitten - puncture wound, serious stuff, drew blood - and he did NOT react at all - because he didn't want to ruin the training session and let the dog think biting was going to get the dog what it wanted. THAT takes serious effort and commitment.
