I knew he was bad - but didn't know this bad!

Yes, I watched Puppy SOS again. I must've forgotten to take the series link off (which I did before I knew it was Brad).
This week was a 4 1/2 month old Husky puppy who was boisterous and 'disobedient' and in risk of being re-homed.

Brad's answer? 1/2 an hour walk a day wasn't enough and they were to exercise the puppy extensively up and down hills at speeds and tied (by her collar no less) to a bike to run along with the son until she was too tired to do anything. She was to be 'made' to sit by them holding the puppy's front feet off the floor until her bum happened to touch it and then release. He also got rid of their puppy gates saying it was a cage and she should learn to behave without them. They got the 2 year old toddler to yank her collar too

Anyone know where I complain? I don't normally get angry at T.V. dog training, but this the worst I've seen, I was livid!

What channel was it on? You can complain to the channel or ofcom.

Sounds awful though no way should any puppy be doing that sort of exercise at only 4 1/2 months old.

I think its ofcom, as they are the regulators.

I've never heard of this, but that is sooo wrong for such a young puppy. I even know that, and I'm not even that dog intelligent!!

Surely they must know (tv producers etc) it just looks wrong!? What channel is it on x

What? What? Where? When?
Brad who? I assumed this would be a CM thread! (Having only witnessed his 'methods' on film for the first time this weekend I never realised people trained like that in public!)
