And I agree about her with some things. I do think that most of the dogs she sees are totally lacking in structure and appropriate stimulation. That's not particularly surprising, tbh, it's a pretty widespread problem with dogs, and particularly the little guys.

And like. Okay, she uses corrections, many of which I just don't see the necessity or effectiveness of.

But the worst thing? She seems to have absolutely zero respect for these dogs' physical boundaries and personal agency.

In the few episodes I've seen, I've seen her:
-Instruct someone to correct a dog for growling when he was suddenly picked up
-Have someone pass over a dog to a person the dog regularly aggressed towards
-"Burrito" a dog in a blanket to force it to accept handling, and not necessary handling like grooming or veterinary

Also utter the words "keep your face away from his face" during a training session.

Now, okay, leashing a dog, confining them, using muzzles.... those can all be effective and necessary management techniques to keep someone from being bit.

But if your technique is basically to teach the dog that it has to shut up and take it in this day and age...

I mean. She uses a penny can.

And it's just. Really disappointing that a channel that has Jackson Galaxy and has seen the whole Milan drama with Nat Geo unfold... I just wish the general public had better trainers to imitate.
