I'm 15 and I have 3 springers all fully trained by myself and not once did I have to use such harsh correction on a dog that is discussing and he calls himself a professional

Dark age dog training!!! If you have to hurt a dog to train it, you are not training the dog, you are simply demonstrating that you can bully it into submission. True training is about developing a bond of trust and mutual respect, and perfectly achievable in with spaniels.You might have to put a little more thought and practice in to positive dog training, but you'll at least not wear the badge of a bully.

We know that discipline doesn’t work on a dog, positive training tactics are the most effective. It’s not being a ‘snowflake’ know that this is an out dated training method that has no evidence to back up its effectiveness

Pulling him by his fucking ear!! 😡😡😡. This makes me so angry. Skinners should be ashamed for sponsoring this video!!!

[nadinespeirs]

That is harsh handling no need for that!!! Not happy with that at all. 😡

old fashion trainer he needs train himself. Cruelty is not training.

[julieannecharters]

same old fluffy/ snowflake pet trainers who try and apply there clicker/ treat training to working dogs.
not a hope in hell with the temptation these dogs are put under.

[trentrogers]

This guy is a clown. Choking and dragging a dog is no way to train a working dog Is shameful and stupid and counterproductive.

[mandyboyd]

Totally heavy handed approach, very unnecessary!

So vile I thought this was a spoof at first! Compare this to the sophisticated work of force-free trainers like Jo Laurens. Skinner's needs to move out of the dark ages.
