I like your comment!! I don't agree with what it's happening in that video. I have been in tough circumstances myself, for a number of years, and I don't mean just dogs wise. All that hitting was not good for anything. I can apply tough corrections to my tough dog, but by no means would I hit the dog!!
There is that video of Lord Gleisdreieck at work and you can see the handler applying some (somewhat) hard coreections in places, but he does not hit the dog.
To be completely honest, I would think one would do that to prove to himself or those around, that he can handle a tough dog, it's more to do with pride, than actually pointing out the dog's qualities.
Imi place p tau de vedere! Nici eu nu sunt de acord cu ceea ce se intampla in clipul respectiv. Am fost si eu in situatii dure, pt o perioada maricica si nu ma refer strict la situatii cu caini. Toate bataia aia din clip e inutila. Da, voi aplica corectii dure unui caine dur, dar nu il voi lovi!
Este acel clip cu Lord Gleisdreieck la lucru, unde se pot remarca ceva corectii mai dure pe ici pe colo, dar cainele nu este lovit.
Sa fiu sincer pana la capat, tind sa cred ca cineca ar face astfel de lucru cu cainele pt a-si dovedi lui sau celor din jur ca poate sa se ocupe de un caine mai dur. Iar asta are legatura mai mult cu orgoliul decat cu subliniera calitatilor cainelui.
