The fact he had to train the dogs with only a shock collar and doesn't believe that dogs can have separation anxiety shows that he's not a real trainer. Anyone can train a dog with a shock collar.
Dogs do not have episodic memory, only associative memory, and their short term memory is about a minute. He is kind of right there except they do have separation anxiety. They don't just live in the moment. But it is because of how they associate people to actions. The dog will be excited to see you because he associates you with happiness, and will be anxious because not having you there is strange and wrong to him. That doesn't make him a good trainer. The shock collar is supposed to be a very temporary tool. Once the dog knows to listen to you and has associated a command with an action, the shock collar is not needed. If he is still using the shock collar after 4 weeks, he doesn't know what he is doing.
Exactly. Just walking down the sidewalk for a couple of minutes and he was shocking the dog repeatedly. He shocked them so much they had burns on their necks. And he insists that separation anxiety does not exist? He doesn't know anything about dogs. It's obvious that he doesn't even like dogs. He's found a way to make money by doing something he enjoys: abusing dogs. And she's an idiot for leaving her beautiful, intelligent, helpless dogs with this abusive creep for an entire month. Poor dogs.
He really tried to act like dogs aren’t literally diagnosed with separation anxiety. They literally have medication for it.. as if this mans opinion or study’s are more reliable than decades of research and tests.
So does my Beagle. We put Bentley in doggie daycare so that he can have socializing when we’re away. He loves it and always looks forward to going. Instead of crying until he wears out and falls asleep.

@Primarch290 what a stupid Karen response that you have made. Animals make judgement too such as whether they trust a person enough to take food from a human hand. Animals remember unkind behavior from people and subsequently may distrust humans.

Yeah Fr!! If he was right, then dogs wouldn’t run to their owner after multiple years of separation!!! I mean how many videos are there of dogs being over the top happy when a soldier returns home or anything of that nature!
Seriously! He sounded silly. Dogs would not be able to demonstrate such marked loyalty as a trait if they only lived in the moment and couldn’t connect with their owners. Dogs can certainly have separation anxiety like any other mammal.
WHY would someone train anything if it, in his own words, "lives in the moment" or as Harvey says, "has no memory"? I wonder if this guy listens to himself speak?
@@eleanoraquitaine2966 that’s a really bizarre interpretation of “living in the moment.” I don’t think of that phrase to mean emotionless or robotic at all
Especially in Australian Shepherds. My Aussie has separation anxiety so bad that he would destroy the house if we left him alone. My mom got in the habit that he just has to go with her everywhere now to avoid the trouble and avoid him feeling so emotional 😂😭
That guy mustn't know anything about Australian shepherds, they do zig zag, it's how they herd sheep. The puppy would be great on a farm, he's keen to work.
Those are not city dogs for sure. They definitely need to where they can be to release the amount of energy they have, they desire to "work", plus they need an owner that is able to keep up with their amount of energy.

@@pascalswager9100 I'm from North Carolina & we live out in the country. There's no way I'd ever have a high energy dog live somewhere they couldn't run & burn energy. I have a pittbull & an American Staffordshire/Belgian Malinois mix, we have ¾ of an acre just around our house fenced in just so they can run & I don't have to worry about them getting hit by a car or wild animals (except for coyotes because they can climb the fence) getting in. Most of the time though I'm outside with them & they're inside the rest of the time. The house is big enough also that they don't feel cooped up. 1 does have separation anxiety & takes Prozac but he's also my service dog so it's not like he's ever separated from me anyway but he still has anxiety in public... we're working on that... both of us are.
We watched my aunt's dog once when she had a procedure done. He sat staring forlornly out the front window all day waiting for her to come back. He only left if he heard the door (thinking it might be her coming back) or if he heard my mother talking in a different room (she sounds just like my aunt, so if he didn't see it was my mom he thought it was my aunt). We couldn't even get him to eat all day. Luckily, she came home that evening and after jumping on her ate his food. Separation anxiety is definitely real in animals.
Same thing with my sister's dog. I took care of her dog for a weekend so she could attend her son's college graduation. Her dog layed on the couch the whole weekend staring out the window whining. He is wrong about separation anxiety.
When I was younger my cousin had a chow chow and while visitin one summer we went out to the movies and dropped the her off at a friend house.....When we went to pick her up, lady sd she laid in tje hallway the whole time we were gone.......When we came bck and she saw us she was so excited to leave....
I believe her about the burns from the collar and that he abused and neglected them. Something about this guy gives me a bad feeling... and the fact that someone who takes people's dogs for weeks on end as a career doesn't think dogs have _any_ _memory_ _retention_ is quite frankly disturbing to me.
He's an idiot! If dogs don't have memory retention then how does he expect a dog to memorize the training that he's charging for?! 🤔 Doesn't make sense on his part.
Exactly ... dogs remember everything ... the dumbass has the nerve to say dogs live in the moment so they don't remember anything 🙄 ... he shouldn't be allow to be near any dogs
My dog remembers falling down a couple of stairs, over a year, year & a half ago. She so scared of them now, she won't go near them. If I try to make her even climb ONE, she shakes & trembles. This dog training "expert" doesn't know what he's talking about
Separation anxiety is real in dogs!!!! Last year my dog would howl for hours when I went to work until I came home. Now he's more used to me being at work. Now, he will bark for a little bit and get quiet. But he practically flips out when I get home now. And it takes him 10 minutes to calm down
There's separation anxiety in cats too! Once we spent a couple of weeks holidaying in another state. Cat stayed home, my neighbor would come 2-3x a day to feed/take care of her which she's done before, no prob. Now my cat is an indoor/outdoor cat so most of the time, she was outside. However, when indoor, our cat peed on the couch in several spots which she's never done before. My neighbor clearly said our cat missed us and did not like being left for such a long time. She hasn't misbehaved since (but we haven't been on another long holiday)... so we'll see.
@@mabuhayPinay I know how right you are on that. I have 2 dogs at this time myself. But, I've owned cats before also and they are like that. I hope you have good luck in the future with your kitty the next time you go on a holiday
When Doug said he's glad that the dog's arent attacking him and that he's been there before, you can find a very old Peoples Court episode on youtube where Doug was bit by a dog while interviewing in the hallway. lol
Right. They’re “fighting” with each other because they have so much pent up energy. We have two Aussiedoodles and if someone didn’t know better, they would think they were killing each other when they tussle. But they are playing. Watch for the play bow before they jump on each other. You should be able to differentiate between dogs play fighting and dogs really fighting.
I avoided adopting a very cute dog because the lady at the agency said the breed needed a lot of exercise. Not just fetch, but engaging activities. That’s too much for me, and I just want the dog to find a fitting home. I like playing with a dog but I’m more basic than that. Sorry Susie Q 🤷♂️ People need to think about the animals more. Cats act out a lot because lack of play. People think cats are self sufficient and don’t need anything but that’s not true. If they’re knocking shit off everything then often times they just need to be tired out with some play. But people just get cats to have cats. It’s why I’d also never have a cat. I’d feel obligated to build my house around it so they can run up pathways on walls and all that to be happy. Instead of just walking on the floor and jumping up on some furniture. I forget what what my point was lol. I guess that people just need to stop buying or adopting based on visual aesthetic alone.
don't know about her, you definitely need to keep up on the training at home, in fact the Best place for training is at home, with the owners; but the guy is a jerk. you Never train with shock collars. They're not trained, their afraid to be hurt. It's abuse.
When i make sure to like the video simply because there are dogs in the vid, just to make sure yt algorithm doesn't forget what type of content I wanna see
I doubt it because if he had they would've been scared of him I think they wanted to go see him, they seemed to be pushing past her & looking at him like they wanted to go see him.
This upsets me! A dogtrainer with a very underestimated opinion about dogs! His way of training is using punishment and to scare them to behave.. Try some love, connection and trust. That's what made my dog perfectly trained!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This logic is overblown. Anyone who has had pets knows some are more aggressive than others. People need to be honest about breeds and quit making excuses like you are.
Adrian, absolutely agree with you! I wish I could take a live pic to prove a point because my pure breed Pitbull is sleeping right next to my bantam show bird. They are best friends. It's one hell of a sight! So sick of hearing about "pitbulls are dangerous"! WRONG! It's the owner that causes the danger 98% of the time. It's all about the training and consistency!
My grandparents got their family puppy when she was 8 weeks old. Yearsss passed and the previous owner happen to pay my grandparents a visit (now I'm talking like 7-8yrs) and she went absolutely insane over him. She hadn't seen him since he dropped her off. But the love she had for him, even after years of no interaction with him, never went away. Might I add she was a very unfriendly Chihuahua. She only loved my grandparents, tolerated my mother, myself, and my siblings, and barked and nipped at anyone else in the world. But the moment she saw him coming... She squealed and yelped with excitement and her tail was wagging a million miles per second. It was amazing for us to see. And in the years following up till her passing (17yrs old) that was always her reaction towards him despite length of time away. Yes, dogs live in the moment...but they also hold deep fond memories.
This “trainer” doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Separation anxiety is real in dogs. They don’t just “live in the moment”. If that were true why would they be so excited for their owner to come home? My cat went through months of mourning when we gave some of her kittens away. She would search the house in all her hiding places looking for them and would meow like she was trying to call them. She definitely had separation issues.
Dogs are known to die months after the death of their owners .. all animals get separation anxiety. A cow we had got super depressed when the farmer left and she refused to eat. Animals have feelings and they develop bonds .. just because you haven’t witnessed it .. doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist
I agree he's terrible but is correct that dogs only live in the present. Any animal behavioralist with a PhD will tell you that. For 5000 years dogs are pack animals and no member EVER left the pack. Today dogs can bark all day in protest of this unnatural separation. The dog jumps on the owner when they return home from work. Pack is reunited. If it's a dog learn from Cesar Millan. If it's a cat problem watch Jackson Galaxy My Cat From Hell.
True but here's the solution. When a dog owner dies it's a huge loss for the dog and people feel bad. They see the dog bummed out and stupidly pet it which intensifies the "depression" by association. They are conditioning the dog to remain bummed out. Whoever the dog goes to must quickly put it on a consistent diet of daily walk, discipline and socialize the dog with other stable friendly dogs who will immediately dominate the new pack member. Dogs rehabilitate other dogs who are unstable much faster than humans.@@ABirdOnTheMoon
I’ve run a non profit rescue for 10 years. Dogs have separation anxiety. A quick search will show that pretty much every association and veterinary authority agrees.
Dogs definitely can have separation anxiety. I had a dog that would cry whenever I leave and stayed crying, barking or howling until I got back. And whenever I would lock him up, he would break out. Weather it was a cage, gate, etc.
They should file police report against the defendant he definitely abused their dogs, he should not be training anybody's dogs I certainly wouldn't leave him alone with my dog.
I dont think those breeds are right for her. They are high energy dogs, and they need active owners. Bad contract, bad defense. I doubt she really continued the training. She had a poor attitude from the moment he returned the dogs.
Totally agree. They are working dogs so to not be able to keep up with them that part is on her. In the very beginning before they even got started when she was telling the dogs to sit or stop you could tell by her demeanor they don't listen to her, so in my opinion she as bad of an owner as the defendant is a trainer.
Personally, I'd never let anyone come near my dogs to train them (Shetland Sheepdogs) unless I did a background check or were recommended by my veterinarian 🐕
I thought shock collars were a last resort for owners having trouble keeping their dogs in line... Isn't the point of sending your dogs for a month of training to find an alternative??
How could he even say they live in the moment when his business is to train them to REMEMBER how to behave 😂😂🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ People just really don’t think when trying to be deceitful smdh We all know dogs remember! What a liar.
I was just a kid when my family dog was left behind i cried my eyes out but my father for whatever reason said we had to leave Tiger behind. Me and Tiger were so close. When i moved back to the state my old neighbor told me they watched him as long as they could but that he was really depressed and would look for me. They said he sat but my toy wagon every day for years and when he got old he went under the freeway and passed away there. I was 25 years old when they told me that. Still makes me cry. Love you Tiger
and dogs do have separation anxiety. If you raise a dog from a puppy, spend every day with it, and after 15 years one day you die or are just GONE, they don't feel any separation anxiety? That guy doesn't know anything about dogs and clearly "Trains" them cuz he wants to control and make them obey him, not cuz he truly loves animals and wants them to be happy and well adjusted.
I know this to be true. As surprizing as was to me at the time, I've seen my own dogs morn, with the loss of another dog within the family. Even animals have feelings. And with how my dog acts around me, and me around her, we have a special bond that can't be broken. And my dog acts sad when she knows I'm upset with her, or angered by something else. They're much more sensitive than we understand.
"animal that lives in the moment". That alone shows he's no dog expert. Just look at the 911 dogs that suffered PTSD. Separation anxiety is a huge thing with dogs.
Fraud. My Yorkie/Bichon definitely has separation anxiety. He howls throughout the day when we have to leave him. I get on the Nest camera to talk to him. I can’t even go into the bathroom without him following me. 💕 my Bentley!
Dog do have separation anxiety...glad she got her money back bc the training wasn't successful. How would he like it if someone put a shock collar on him smh
According to the defendant, “You can teach an old dog new tricks.” Apparently that didn’t happen , according to the plaintiff, even with a shock collar, so she got her money back.
Disturbing. "How can an animal that lives in the moment have separation anxiety". That's WHY they can have it so bad! They don't understand the owner will be coming back. He really just proved he understands very little about dogs nor logic.
Most animals get giardia from dirty water which meant he wasn't taking care of them well enough, or wasn't changing their water enough. Giardia makes the mammal extremely thirsty so the fact that the dog was that thirsty when it walked in the door and was having diarrhea meant it had been in the dogs system for at least 3 weeks and had gotten to a bad stage. My kitten had giardia because the PetSmart we adopted her from was not taking care of their animals or cleaning their cages. She's happy and healthy now.

My dog has shown separation anxiety anytime I am gone for a long time. When we got her I was home with our youngest, and when I first went back to work it was tough on her. Now when we travel it's rough on her. Luckily I have a great support system who helps with her and keeps her.
4:26 how can a dog that lives in the moment have separation anxiety, 😡😡 wtf my cat and my tortoise misses me so much when I leave and always so happy when I come home, ok maybe not the tortoise but, dudes crazy🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
My lab/beagle mix has separation anxiety that he is attached to myself and my 2 teenage kids. He literally lays in front of the bathroom door at 5am if I'm the only one up taking a shower. 🐕 are just as much people as they are animals.
I would think that an animal that lives in the moment would be MORE likely to have separation anxiety because they have no idea when their beloved owner will return. Separation anxiety has been identified BY PROFESSIONALS in animals that have been abandoned. It makes sense too - if they were abandoned once coupled with no sense of time to judge when their new owner will return that would make anyone be terrified that they will be abandoned again
In all fairness, when used CORRECTLY and with knowledge they can be very effective training tools. When used correctly, they are set to such a low setting that there is zero pain, it feels more like a tap to get the dog’s attention and to redirect when they get fixated on something. When used correctly, it does not stress the dog at all
I think a good clue was that he didn't want to share his name or name of the dog training business. Free publicity, but he knows he's trash! Poor dogs.
I could tell from the moment this guy walked in to the courtroom, that he was a thug and an abuser of animals. My sister has two dogs, and they do have separation anxiety when she is gone, as well as three dogs I care for when their owner is on vacation. This guy is not a real dog trainer, but a straight up abuser of poor, defenseless animals!! I remember working with a guy years ago, who was just like this guy, and he used shock collars as well as choke collars and he would hurt the dogs, and he said that that was the only way to train them! The guy got sued later and he met his doom.
He does NOT understand how dogs think. Not at all. Anyone who uses a shock collar should be arrested for animal cruelty. He should not be allowed around animals.
She also has to be consistent with training afterwards. I don't believe they were trained appropriately & being that she claims to have gotten another trainer afterwards they obviously still aren't trained.
This guy should not train dogs. Dogs remember. My 8# yorkie who’s brain is the size of an plum remembered where the basket of balls were at in my mother in laws house 2 years after not being in the house. Walked in the house and immediately went into the bedroom where the balls had been 2 years earlier. They know. They remember.
Doug was actually bitten by a dog once on air when he was interviewing someone. That's what he was referring to at the end of this case: th-cam.com/video/6BFOl-ZL-58/w-d-xo.html Skip to 2:24 (in the linked vid, not this one!) or just watch the whole thing if you are a Conan O Brian fan.
The dog staring at the defendant down like this is the idiot who shocked us. They prob didn’t greet the owner cause they were scared to get shocked. Smh
This is my second time watching this. Although I am not a dog lover, I find it *highly* disturbing that those dogs obviously remember that guy, and what he put them through. The pup cried throughout the whole case! Just SMELLING the dude made the dog worried!
OK WHY WHEN THE DEFENDANT WALKED IN I THOUGHT THAT THE DOGS CAUGHTS THE WORMS FROM HIM HE LOOKS A MESS & IS IN NEED OF A BATH. THE PLAINTIFF WAS CORRECT ABT WHAT SHE HIRED HIM FOR. HE DIDN'T DO HIS DUTY. JUST HAPPY THAT SHE RECIEVED THE MAJORITY OF HER $$$$ BK
Separation anxiety is VERY real. My ex bf mom had five dachshunds, the minute she left the house even if it was to grab the mail. One would start howling and crying, running under her blankets wailing. And then the rest would follow and they would fill the house w their cries until you stopped/ comforted them.
The defendant comes across as very rigid and uncaring. I don't think someone who believes that separation anxiety does not exist should be training dogs. He will not have the right level of empathy. He was mostly relying on the shock collars. How do you train a dog against separation anxiety? Don't they get separation anxiety being sent away for a month from the owner? I cannot work out if all of her complaints are valid. Did she give him enough chance to demonstrate the training? Doesn't the training need to involve her as well. I don't think you just send the dogs off to be programmed. You train the owner in conjunction with the dogs.
Does she realize these dogs are high energy? If she has had dogs like this previously she would know this. It's not the dogs fault for no constancy. They are like children, they need structure. That's why these types of dogs do well on a farm. Their bloodline strives on herding!
The fact he had to train the dogs with only a shock collar and doesn't believe that dogs can have separation anxiety shows that he's not a real trainer. Anyone can train a dog with a shock collar.
It’s too bad that she couldn’t of sent her dogs to Cesar Millan!

If he is still using the shock collar after 4 weeks, he doesn't know what he is doing.

I believe her about the burns from the collar and that he abused and neglected them. Something about this guy gives me a bad feeling... and the fact that someone who takes people's dogs for weeks on end as a career doesn't think dogs have _any_ _memory_ _retention_ is quite frankly disturbing to me.
Yes dear. I've rescued and raised many stray dogs and cats...this man is a cruel man.
He's an idiot! If dogs don't have memory retention then how does he expect a dog to memorize the training that he's charging for?! 🤔 Doesn't make sense on his part.
Exactly ... dogs remember everything ... the dumbass has the nerve to say dogs live in the moment so they don't remember anything 🙄 ... he shouldn't be allow to be near any dogs
Looking at him walking in I could tell he's an abuser.
My dog remembers falling down a couple of stairs, over a year, year & a half ago. She so scared of them now, she won't go near them. If I try to make her even climb ONE, she shakes & trembles. This dog training "expert" doesn't know what he's talking about
Separation anxiety is real in dogs!!!! Last year my dog would howl for hours when I went to work until I came home. Now he's more used to me being at work. Now, he will bark for a little bit and get quiet. But he practically flips out when I get home now. And it takes him 10 minutes to calm down
I agree this guy is crazy!!
There's separation anxiety in cats too! Once we spent a couple of weeks holidaying in another state. Cat stayed home, my neighbor would come 2-3x a day to feed/take care of her which she's done before, no prob. Now my cat is an indoor/outdoor cat so most of the time, she was outside. However, when indoor, our cat peed on the couch in several spots which she's never done before. My neighbor clearly said our cat missed us and did not like being left for such a long time. She hasn't misbehaved since (but we haven't been on another long holiday)... so we'll see.
@@mabuhayPinay I know how right you are on that. I have 2 dogs at this time myself. But, I've owned cats before also and they are like that. I hope you have good luck in the future with your kitty the next time you go on a holiday
@@jenkzkh Thank you! My best to your 2 beloved dogs.
@@mabuhayPinay thank you ☺️
Wouldn’t leave my dog alone for one second with this guy!!!
When Doug said he's glad that the dog's arent attacking him and that he's been there before, you can find a very old Peoples Court episode on youtube where Doug was bit by a dog while interviewing in the hallway. lol
oh word whats its called plz thanz
No way! Really??
What's the name of that episode?
Episode called Big Bad Dawg
Those are high energy dogs and really need to be with someone who can give them proper exercise.
Right. They’re “fighting” with each other because they have so much pent up energy. We have two Aussiedoodles and if someone didn’t know better, they would think they were killing each other when they tussle. But they are playing. Watch for the play bow before they jump on each other. You should be able to differentiate between dogs play fighting and dogs really fighting.
100% agree! This lady should not have these dogs at all
I avoided adopting a very cute dog because the lady at the agency said the breed needed a lot of exercise. Not just fetch, but engaging activities. That’s too much for me, and I just want the dog to find a fitting home. I like playing with a dog but I’m more basic than that. Sorry Susie Q 🤷♂️
People need to think about the animals more. Cats act out a lot because lack of play. People think cats are self sufficient and don’t need anything but that’s not true. If they’re knocking shit off everything then often times they just need to be tired out with some play. But people just get cats to have cats. It’s why I’d also never have a cat. I’d feel obligated to build my house around it so they can run up pathways on walls and all that to be happy. Instead of just walking on the floor and jumping up on some furniture.
I forget what what my point was lol. I guess that people just need to stop buying or adopting based on visual aesthetic alone.
What a dumb thing for a trainer to say… “they live in the moment”. Is that why you can’t train them?
He lost credibility when he denied separation anxiety, but this lady sounds like a drama queen. Both are sketch.
don't know about her, you definitely need to keep up on the training at home, in fact the Best place for training is at home, with the owners; but the guy is a jerk. you Never train with shock collars. They're not trained, their afraid to be hurt. It's abuse.
Beautiful dogs🧡💛💚
My dog definitely has separation anxiety there’s no doubt about it. My vet and my pet nanny would attest to it in court if I had to ever prove it
Your dog sitter? lololol
@@manthony777 pet sitters are needed if medication needs to be administered and to take the dogs for walks, and check their food and water.
@@smfarrie2943 , I see ty
Imagine the eye rolls of the millions of people who heard “dogs don’t have separation anxiety”
When i make sure to like the video simply because there are dogs in the vid, just to make sure yt algorithm doesn't forget what type of content I wanna see
Lol. Me too😁
In her heart she believes he abused her dogs, from what was said I agree.
I doubt it because if he had they would've been scared of him I think they wanted to go see him, they seemed to be pushing past her & looking at him like they wanted to go see him.
This upsets me! A dogtrainer with a very underestimated opinion about dogs! His way of training is using punishment and to scare them to behave.. Try some love, connection and trust. That's what made my dog perfectly trained!
Dogs can in fact, suffer from separation anxiety.
No matter what the situation is between people the animals are never at fault.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This logic is overblown. Anyone who has had pets knows some are more aggressive than others. People need to be honest about breeds and quit making excuses like you are.
Adrian, absolutely agree with you!
I wish I could take a live pic to prove a point because my pure breed Pitbull is sleeping right next to my bantam show bird. They are best friends. It's one hell of a sight! So sick of hearing about "pitbulls are dangerous"! WRONG! It's the owner that causes the danger 98% of the time. It's all about the training and consistency!
@@hhhope People like you are the problem. Some tigers are sweet and adorable too.
My grandparents got their family puppy when she was 8 weeks old. Yearsss passed and the previous owner happen to pay my grandparents a visit (now I'm talking like 7-8yrs) and she went absolutely insane over him. She hadn't seen him since he dropped her off. But the love she had for him, even after years of no interaction with him, never went away. Might I add she was a very unfriendly Chihuahua. She only loved my grandparents, tolerated my mother, myself, and my siblings, and barked and nipped at anyone else in the world. But the moment she saw him coming... She squealed and yelped with excitement and her tail was wagging a million miles per second. It was amazing for us to see. And in the years following up till her passing (17yrs old) that was always her reaction towards him despite length of time away. Yes, dogs live in the moment...but they also hold deep fond memories.
This “trainer” doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Separation anxiety is real in dogs. They don’t just “live in the moment”. If that were true why would they be so excited for their owner to come home? My cat went through months of mourning when we gave some of her kittens away. She would search the house in all her hiding places looking for them and would meow like she was trying to call them. She definitely had separation issues.
😢 SO SAD 🐈
Dogs are known to die months after the death of their owners .. all animals get separation anxiety. A cow we had got super depressed when the farmer left and she refused to eat. Animals have feelings and they develop bonds .. just because you haven’t witnessed it .. doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist
I agree he's terrible but is correct that dogs only live in the present. Any animal behavioralist with a PhD will tell you that. For 5000 years dogs are pack animals and no member EVER left the pack. Today dogs can bark all day in protest of this unnatural separation. The dog jumps on the owner when they return home from work. Pack is reunited. If it's a dog learn from Cesar Millan. If it's a cat problem watch Jackson Galaxy My Cat From Hell.
True but here's the solution. When a dog owner dies it's a huge loss for the dog and people feel bad. They see the dog bummed out and stupidly pet it which intensifies the "depression" by association. They are conditioning the dog to remain bummed out. Whoever the dog goes to must quickly put it on a consistent diet of daily walk, discipline and socialize the dog with other stable friendly dogs who will immediately dominate the new pack member. Dogs rehabilitate other dogs who are unstable much faster than humans.@@ABirdOnTheMoon
I’ve run a non profit rescue for 10 years. Dogs have separation anxiety. A quick search will show that pretty much every association and veterinary authority agrees.
Dogs definitely can have separation anxiety. I had a dog that would cry whenever I leave and stayed crying, barking or howling until I got back. And whenever I would lock him up, he would break out. Weather it was a cage, gate, etc.
They should file police report against the defendant he definitely abused their dogs, he should not be training anybody's dogs I certainly wouldn't leave him alone with my dog.
So his method of training is torturing the dog? He’s wrong but she’s also wrong for not knowing his method of “training”
I dont think those breeds are right for her. They are high energy dogs, and they need active owners.
Bad contract, bad defense. I doubt she really continued the training. She had a poor attitude from the moment he returned the dogs.
Totally agree. They are working dogs so to not be able to keep up with them that part is on her.
In the very beginning before they even got started when she was telling the dogs to sit or stop you could tell by her demeanor they don't listen to her, so in my opinion she as bad of an owner as the defendant is a trainer.
Personally, I'd never let anyone come near my dogs to train them (Shetland Sheepdogs) unless I did a background check or were recommended by my veterinarian 🐕
I thought shock collars were a last resort for owners having trouble keeping their dogs in line... Isn't the point of sending your dogs for a month of training to find an alternative??
That’s why they was crying. They like shit “LET US SPEAK” 😂 poor babies, just terrible.
I would never give any pet to that clown.
How could he even say they live in the moment when his business is to train them to REMEMBER how to behave 😂😂🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ People just really don’t think when trying to be deceitful smdh We all know dogs remember! What a liar.
I was just a kid when my family dog was left behind i cried my eyes out but my father for whatever reason said we had to leave Tiger behind. Me and Tiger were so close. When i moved back to the state my old neighbor told me they watched him as long as they could but that he was really depressed and would look for me. They said he sat but my toy wagon every day for years and when he got old he went under the freeway and passed away there. I was 25 years old when they told me that. Still makes me cry. Love you Tiger
Awe, that’s so sad! RIP in Tiger!
Ahhh a Veterinarian will tell you dogs suffer Seperation Anxiety I have had 2
and dogs do have separation anxiety. If you raise a dog from a puppy, spend every day with it, and after 15 years one day you die or are just GONE, they don't feel any separation anxiety? That guy doesn't know anything about dogs and clearly "Trains" them cuz he wants to control and make them obey him, not cuz he truly loves animals and wants them to be happy and well adjusted.
I know this to be true. As surprizing as was to me at the time, I've seen my own dogs morn, with the loss of another dog within the family. Even animals have feelings. And with how my dog acts around me, and me around her, we have a special bond that can't be broken. And my dog acts sad when she knows I'm upset with her, or angered by something else. They're much more sensitive than we understand.
"animal that lives in the moment". That alone shows he's no dog expert. Just look at the 911 dogs that suffered PTSD. Separation anxiety is a huge thing with dogs.
Fraud. My Yorkie/Bichon definitely has separation anxiety. He howls throughout the day when we have to leave him. I get on the Nest camera to talk to him. I can’t even go into the bathroom without him following me. 💕 my Bentley!
Dogs don’t have separation anxiety? I can’t even go to the bathroom alone or my dog cries
"Separation anxiety doesn't exist in dogs."
Bro, you've never met my dog.
The poor plaintiff seems full of anxiety herself, so nervous. Her dogs are so cute 💐
I don’t like the plaintiff or the defendant. And I feel badly for the dogs.
same. Why would you get a high energy working dog if you're not physically able to care for him? So frustrating.
And the defendent just has no clue what he's talking about.
Dog do have separation anxiety...glad she got her money back bc the training wasn't successful. How would he like it if someone put a shock collar on him smh
It was very telling when the “ trainer “ was talking about the shock collar , the doggy started barking at the creep
My coworker has her phone set up so her dog can see her in the office. Dogs absolutely have separation anxiety.
According to the defendant, “You can teach an old dog new tricks.” Apparently that didn’t happen , according to the plaintiff, even with a shock collar, so she got her money back.
Disturbing. "How can an animal that lives in the moment have separation anxiety". That's WHY they can have it so bad! They don't understand the owner will be coming back. He really just proved he understands very little about dogs nor logic.
Most animals get giardia from dirty water which meant he wasn't taking care of them well enough, or wasn't changing their water enough. Giardia makes the mammal extremely thirsty so the fact that the dog was that thirsty when it walked in the door and was having diarrhea meant it had been in the dogs system for at least 3 weeks and had gotten to a bad stage. My kitten had giardia because the PetSmart we adopted her from was not taking care of their animals or cleaning their cages. She's happy and healthy now.
"I'm disabled, I have nerve pain in my arms" proceeded to constantly wave them when talking
She still probably can't feel her arms.
Neuropathy is real.
@@moniqueengleman873 if she can't feel her arms, there is no pain.
@@Claybo Actually that is not the way it works at all. Neuropathy causes pain that can be akin to pins & needles on steroids, individuals diagnosed with it can definitely feel pain.
@@dellahicks7231 "akchually that's not the way it works..."
Responded to someone saying she can't feel her arms but then here you are offering a solution that requires feeling in her arms. There's a difference between feeling pain and feeling nothing.
@@Claybo As someone that lives with Chronic Pain, I understand better then anyone that
there is a difference between feeling pain and feeling nothing.
The rest I recommend you research or speak to those with Neuropathic pain.
"Dogs don't get separation anxiety"
I bet this dude is a nightmare to deal with in friendships.
Ummm, vet tech here 🙋🏽♀️, separation anxiety DOES exist in dogs that why we have to prescribe meds sometimes because it can get bad. There's even plug ins that are used to help keep them calm. Friggin crazy!
And, this is why I have cats.
Exactly 😅
I love dogs!!! I can’t live in a house with one but I love them!! This guy is so rude, unfeeling and disrespectful!!!
Steve looks professional with his brand new shirt from Menards
😆 " Save Big Money At Menards ! "

He dressed to impress, that’s his court outfit! You should see what he wears to funerals 😂
😂🤣
My dog has shown separation anxiety anytime I am gone for a long time. When we got her I was home with our youngest, and when I first went back to work it was tough on her. Now when we travel it's rough on her. Luckily I have a great support system who helps with her and keeps her.
Someone must have done something right, because those dogs stood up when Douglas told them to.
🤣🤣
They have a new trainer
4:26 how can a dog that lives in the moment have separation anxiety, 😡😡 wtf my cat and my tortoise misses me so much when I leave and always so happy when I come home, ok maybe not the tortoise but, dudes crazy🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
My lab/beagle mix has separation anxiety that he is attached to myself and my 2 teenage kids. He literally lays in front of the bathroom door at 5am if I'm the only one up taking a shower. 🐕 are just as much people as they are animals.
He seems cold hearted. The dogs were definitely traumatized
That guy is a complete fraud I would not trust him turning my pet rock
Awe aussies. I am on my 3rd. Love the breed!
FYI: Giardia is not worms. Giardia and coccidia are both non worm parisites. I had a cat once who had giardia, for which i took it to the vet.
I would think that an animal that lives in the moment would be MORE likely to have separation anxiety because they have no idea when their beloved owner will return.
Separation anxiety has been identified BY PROFESSIONALS in animals that have been abandoned. It makes sense too - if they were abandoned once coupled with no sense of time to judge when their new owner will return that would make anyone be terrified that they will be abandoned again
She lost me when she allowed a shock collar on her dogs ! that’s brutal Af 🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
In all fairness, when used CORRECTLY and with knowledge they can be very effective training tools. When used correctly, they are set to such a low setting that there is zero pain, it feels more like a tap to get the dog’s attention and to redirect when they get fixated on something. When used correctly, it does not stress the dog at all
They actually work!
I think a good clue was that he didn't want to share his name or name of the dog training business. Free publicity, but he knows he's trash! Poor dogs.
If there’s no such thing as separation anxiety, why did he initially agree to deal w/it? He stated she asked for that service 🤷🏻♀️
The dogs behavior helped her win her case. He definitely didn’t do a good job training them and I believe he neglected them while he had them.
Dogs most certainly do have anxiety and separation anxiety
I could tell from the moment this guy walked in to the courtroom, that he was a thug and an abuser of animals. My sister has two dogs, and they do have separation anxiety when she is gone, as well as three dogs I care for when their owner is on vacation. This guy is not a real dog trainer, but a straight up abuser of poor, defenseless animals!! I remember working with a guy years ago, who was just like this guy, and he used shock collars as well as choke collars and he would hurt the dogs, and he said that that was the only way to train them! The guy got sued later and he met his doom.
I’m glad she got her training fee back … I’m a
Fur mom when he said dogs just live in the moment 🙄 lost me!
He does NOT understand how dogs think. Not at all. Anyone who uses a shock collar should be arrested for animal cruelty. He should not be allowed around animals.
Yikes how she’s gonna pay all that money and they’re still clearly NOT trained. What was the point of bringing them
She also has to be consistent with training afterwards. I don't believe they were trained appropriately & being that she claims to have gotten another trainer afterwards they obviously still aren't trained.
Lmao the dog bit the other ones ears 😂😂😂
Awww look at those sweet dogs.... Imagine the fear they would have been in 😡😡😡
I think he's a self taught, amateur trainer
But, I think the owner expected the dogs to come back and be perfectly behaved with no correction.
Poor puppies ❤ I'm glad they're back home with their momma
This guy should not train dogs. Dogs remember. My 8# yorkie who’s brain is the size of an plum remembered where the basket of balls were at in my mother in laws house 2 years after not being in the house. Walked in the house and immediately went into the bedroom where the balls had been 2 years earlier. They know. They remember.
For him to even say that dogs only live in the present and have no memory just proves that he doesn’t know anything about them 🤦🏽♀️
Yes, he's clueless.
Doug was actually bitten by a dog once on air when he was interviewing someone. That's what he was referring to at the end of this case:
th-cam.com/video/6BFOl-ZL-58/w-d-xo.html Skip to 2:24 (in the linked vid, not this one!) or just watch the whole thing if you are a Conan O Brian fan.
This guy sucks as a dog trainer. He needs to find another line of work. And the fact he only went by his first name means hes probably shady.
The dog staring at the defendant down like this is the idiot who shocked us. They prob didn’t greet the owner cause they were scared to get shocked. Smh
Where'd they find Bubba the "trainer"??...those doggos are gorgeous.
This is my second time watching this. Although I am not a dog lover, I find it *highly* disturbing that those dogs obviously remember that guy, and what he put them through. The pup cried throughout the whole case!
Just SMELLING the dude made the dog worried!
OK WHY WHEN THE DEFENDANT WALKED IN I THOUGHT THAT THE DOGS CAUGHTS THE WORMS FROM HIM HE LOOKS A MESS & IS IN NEED OF A BATH. THE PLAINTIFF WAS CORRECT ABT WHAT SHE HIRED HIM FOR. HE DIDN'T DO HIS DUTY. JUST HAPPY THAT SHE RECIEVED THE MAJORITY OF HER $$$$ BK
I'm gonna rate this case 5 out of 5 bones!!🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺🐩
The defendant looks like how Cartman from Southpark would look like if he was human and 37 years old…
My dogs sure do miss me. I don't believe the separation anxiety thing at all.
Separation anxiety is VERY real. My ex bf mom had five dachshunds, the minute she left the house even if it was to grab the mail. One would start howling and crying, running under her blankets wailing. And then the rest would follow and they would fill the house w their cries until you stopped/ comforted them.
Dogs do suffer with separation anxiety it’s a well known fact. T younger dog has loads of energy because it’s a puppy
The defendant comes across as very rigid and uncaring. I don't think someone who believes that separation anxiety does not exist should be training dogs. He will not have the right level of empathy. He was mostly relying on the shock collars. How do you train a dog against separation anxiety? Don't they get separation anxiety being sent away for a month from the owner? I cannot work out if all of her complaints are valid. Did she give him enough chance to demonstrate the training? Doesn't the training need to involve her as well. I don't think you just send the dogs off to be programmed. You train the owner in conjunction with the dogs.
Does she realize these dogs are high energy? If she has had dogs like this previously she would know this. It's not the dogs fault for no constancy. They are like children, they need structure. That's why these types of dogs do well on a farm. Their bloodline strives on herding!
