Trainer kicking dog

[Clodagh]

Has anyone seen the video?
A gundog trainer booting a cocker in the head when it doesn’t heel properly.
I saw it once but now can’t find it (I’m pretty rubbish at searching on fb). So far as I can make out he posted it himself, as it was head cam footage. Bizarre. So he must have thought it was quite an acceptable way to behave? If not actually a positive thing to do.

Golly how nasty! Poor pup.

 

[Clodagh]

It’s really vicious isn’t it. And sort of premeditated which is even worse.
My grandpa used to send his labs off to be trained to a proper old school trialler. When I was a child we went to visit the man and I was so upset he never sent another one there. I thought we’d moved on from the total dominance and fear requirement for obedience.

That’s horrible and then the gobshite posted it on Facebook. Stupid as well as abusive. I hope it has a hugely detrimental affect on his business.

He's, let's say, not well thought of in trialling circles. There's no need for that sort of behaviour towards an animal.

A foul individual

Wow ? has he removed his fb page I’m sure I use to follow it

Well, I saw this on Animal Cruelty Files and when I Googled his name, several links came up suggesting he trained The Queen's gundogs.

What a thicko to post the vid and also a possible reason that rescues don't want to rehome as workers.

I must admit I thought this was pretty standard treatment at one time.

 

[ArklePig]

What a f***ing scumbag. I can't understand people who think fear and violence is the right approach to handling a dog. If someone did that to my dog I genuinely think I'd kick their head in and I'm not violent in the least.

 

[Esmae]

That's awful, and what did he expect to achieve by it anyway? Vile individual.

 

[babymare]

OMG that is beyond disgusting. Was any action taken against him? The poor Wee puppy

Fortunately won’t load for me because the thought has made me tearful. If anyone did that to one of mine, they’d get it back, threefold.

 

[Thistle]

That's horrible to see. This man has repeatedly sent me friend requests in the past that I've deleted. No idea why.

I gather he has been reported to various organisations. Idk if anything will come of it.

He has never trained the Queen's gundogs. Ian Openshaw trains her spaniels.

Removed his personal and business facebook pages and instagram. Also withdrew his Cocker (FTCH Diamonfinda Dive Rite In) from the Championship which was on the last two days.

He’s learning then? Belatedly?
Did you compete at the champs?

I don't have any Cockers currently and never any good enough for that level!

 

[Moobli]

Thankfully I can’t see the video as I’m not sure my blood pressure would take it.

 

[Jenko109]

Quite what he thinks the young dog will learn from that, I dont know. Poor thing.

Idiot .
