As a solo dog trainer working hard to help humans and dogs I appreciate your podcast and the diversity of thinking you bring with them. I love that you are creating conversations and you are asking others to have conversations. I am highly concerned with social media being used to bully others rather than understand others perspective. Love your thinking and love for dogs. It feels to me that trainers are being targeted as though they are the problem rather than a potential solution. Looking forward to the studies you are embarking on. Thank you for being you and doing this!! Your voice makes a difference.

Listened to the entire interview. Let me say upfront I’ve owned dogs on and off my entire life. I am not a dog trainer but spent years training horses. Dog trainers to me seem to be no different than horse trainers and the situations they face. They come in all types and in all levels of experience. We too face accusations of cruelty and abuse in training methods, some of which are justified, others born of ignorance. Having spent years training horses it has been my experience that a lot of problem horses are created. They are created by owners that don’t understand the psychology of horses in general, breeds specifically, or the inborn instincts and environmental factors that have affected a horse on an individual basis. The majority of backyard horse owners love their horses and treat them as pets. That’s a problem. You always have to work and meet a horse at its level and have a great understanding of how its mind works. It seems to me it’s the same with our dogs. In horse training we have to apply pressure appropriately, to push them through fear at times, resistance at other times. It’s the best trainers who can read and feel when the horse needs it and how to appropriately apply it. I’ve seen a lot of fine minded horses hurt by bad trainers and been at facilities where loving owners who thought their horse was just a big puppy be killed by that puppy. Not far from me a young woman took her horse out on a cool windy morning, wrapped the lead rope around her arm a couple times and when the horse spooked it took off. She fell and was being dragged behind. The horse not knowing it was her, kicked her to death as it ran. Animals no matter the size or type need to be met where they’re at by trainers/owners who have enough knowledge and experience to create the best scenario. Sometimes that takes being able to apply the appropriate pressure/corrections to condition that animal’s behavior. The majority of dogs euthanized are dogs that have been literally loved to death. I think DD is filling a need for everyday dog owners who have been done a disservice by positive only trainers and a lack of knowledge. While it’s not perfect, I had the same issues trying to teach owners of horses I’ve trained for them, it’s an opening for the owner to see if there is hope providing they follow through for them and their dogs. People really lack knowledge. Even so, some people will reject sound principles and that never ends well. There’s just too many dogs and not enough good trainers that are affordable to everyday dog owners.

It is exactly how I feel. I try pure positive training to my dogs and didnt work. They fight and dragged me off the ditch. They are lovely individully but was a nightmare walking them together out there as they also growled at other dogs. They drained me and my husband emotionally. I was desperate. Then I fiund the tools pronge collar and e collar. The tool completely change our lives. Dogs walk together much better and there is a way for me to distract them in different situations and they liaten better.

I agree with you on horses and dogs. I wasn't raised with horses, and never took riding lessons, and was told as a kid kick him to go, pull the reins to stop. Fast forward and now I save still useful horses from slaughter, along with being a wildlife rehabber and Aussie foster. EVERY "problem" and "bad habit" my horses have had, were created by my ignorance and lack of ability to communicate with the horse. I need to learn better communication, they're willing as long as they can figure out what I'm asking. I went to DD training in Austin Not because my dog needs help, but because I want to help dogs who'd otherwise face euthanasia like DD. I was amazed at his communication skills with dogs. I've specifically kept up with 2 dogs from the class, to see if the owners maintained what DD started. Both dogs have changed into calm secure, happy dogs... And both were facing euthanasia. Both cases were insecurities caused by the owner. DD teaches people more than dogs. I don't care if his kennel is licensed, I'm not in the market for a puppy. But I can't argue with the positive changes he makes in dogs lives, who were out of chances before training. He's flamboyant, and high strung, but who cares? He's saving lives. The link below is one of the dogs, with my dog at the end of the clip. Mine is the adorable red Merle Australian shepherd wanting to play. kzread.infohIXurEjqlCc

At the end I hear Ivan say his goal was to hear what Agusto had to say. Plus, he did ask Agusto questions that he said he wanted answers to. I heard Ivan say he was open to the one most vocal person against Agusto’s method to come on his podcast and also be interviewed, as well, and to train with him-Ivan. I thought this was purposely set to allow Agusto to tell his background because he said he wanted to hear that firsthand. I felt Ivan asked his experienced based questions that if yourself were not experienced too it would show. Ivan is not a trainer anyone could pull the wool over. He asked hard questions that required Agusto to explain in detail. At the end, he did say he was open to a second podcast. It was an informative podcast for me.

They had rehearsed their bad behavior and had never been corrected. His corrections did not hurt any of the dogs, surprised them, for sure.

It was absolutely brilliant that Ivan let DD just talk. Anyone who watches detectives interview suspects knows that they can learn something from staying silent. You can gather a lot of information about how a person is because they inevitably tell on themselves without the interruption of questions. Ivan did ask his questions but there was no reason to ask a million questions because DD talked about what everyone would have asked him about anyways! Now that there’s a baseline conversation (or monologue) with DD on his background, how he got started, his thoughts on the reports and accusations of abuse, what he does, how he thinks etc. it is easier to understand him as a person. I’m always fascinated about the psychology of a person and how they become a certain way. My thoughts: Do I think he’s full of himself? Yes. However, I’ve met many dog trainers who are full of themselves and have a god-complex. I think that he fits more into the category of a ‘consultant’ (an extreme one!) more than dog trainer now after watching this. In summary: he holds 3-hour long seminars to “get the dogs under control”, offer feedback to client on what they should do next-how he reads body language, what he sees, etc. He doesn’t ‘finish’ dogs from the sound of it. He talks about the video clips he’s posted on social media as mostly being the start of how he approaches dogs- again in his words “getting them under control first”- and then teaching owners how to teach obedience (if that’s what they’re after. I do think dog owners reach a point where they are absolutely desperate for answers and solutions and they’re willing to seek help from someone offering that or what they perceive as that. As Ivan mentioned in his caption on FB; I approached this with an open mind. I don’t agree with DDs method and approach. It’s extreme and unfair to the dogs. We also all know that what we see on social media is a snippet of the whole picture; is it worse, the same, or better in person? Who knows! I’ve never been to his seminars or felt the need to. It was interesting to hear him openly talk because no one actually has given him a platform and I have an immense amount of respect for Ivan in doing so! I do agree with DD on one thing: education. We need to be better at communicating and educating our clients and quit throwing out terms they don’t understand and make sure we are doing everything to put things in a way that they do understand. We need to be honest and quit making promises that we know we can’t fulfill. Not everyone is going to be passionate about dogs in the way trainers are. I know I’ve seen it with my own clients that some people don’t even understand “simple” terms like ‘redirection’ and what that truly means. Like every TWC podcast: I listened, I learned something, and now it’s time to go back to training dogs and educating clients.

"Extreme and unfair to the dogs"? How? How can you ascertain this from a distance without experiencing the training in its full context, listening to the owners, and seeing the results. If anything, Dog Daddy is offering the opposite of the "extreme and unfair" purely positive training strategies which unduly and inefficiently extend out training under the deception of kindness, locking the dog into behavior patterns and often, ultimately, leaving owners frustrated into giving up or euthanizing their dogs. I maintain that the prevailing false humaneness and failure of results of positive only training have dominated the narratives and gaslighted the public to the point that people, afraid of appearing to lack compassion as defined by the establishment, are conditioned to label Dog Daddy (and trainers who work in his vein) as "extreme and unfair." He is helping thousands of owners and dogs in ways no one else has (his success confirms this as irrefutable fact), and so by design this becomes "controversial."

@@ripreinhold6572 I wouldn’t define myself as a PP or R+ only dog trainer myself so I’d definitely have to agree with you that long and drawn out training techniques that only cause prolonged and unnecessary stress in dogs and owners by not offering tools that can help mitigate behavior in a more productive way is also extreme and unfair. I think that DD has produced results in his own way but without the proper follow up (because he travels around and works with a lot of people) I’m curious to know how many of his clients have had successfully “finished” dogs afterwards. I think it is extreme and unfair to set up a dog in the way he does because it’s not needed. You’re only mentioning PP trainers here and lots of balanced trainers have had success with aggression without doing this to dogs.

I paid to be an observer to understand types of dog behaviors. Augusto tailors his training for each owner & situation with their dog. If he needs to get a dog under control 1st before he trains, he will do so. The owners then have plenty of time to practice techniques with their dogs during the 3-4 hour classes. At the start of class, it is loud with dogs barking & lunging at othrrs. At the end, it is super quiet, as owners have practiced alone, then experienced careful interactions passing by another dog -- 'leave it' -- if they see their dog focusing & preparing to be anxious/reactive. Augusto says he will make the classes smaller & spend more time in the classes -- he is amazing in that he reads the dog- knows what they will do & tell the owner. Amazing knowledge!

I 100% agree with DD when he says that people should train BEFORE having a dog. One of my dogs I rescued and now that I have a puppy I realized that my one rescue dog was severely abused BECAUSE whoever owned her couldn’t stand her puppy stage. When I got her she was about a year old and she didn’t even know how to be a dog. It took her 2 weeks to come out from under my bed and eat and go potty. She seemed very aggressive towards people because she would bark like crazy if you tried to come near her. I’ve had her for 9 years and she has come long ways. But before we got our puppy we did lots of research and we knew what to expect not only from the puppy state but the adolescent stage. Knowing that before hand has been instrumental in dealing with each stage. I wish more people did that instead of abusing their puppies and dump them out

I actually see this guys point. If only people actually saw the amount of dogs and the breeds PER day that get put down for behavior issues is insane. No one ever talk about behavior euthenthia behind the scenes. I can't count how many time I get student coming from positive only trainers and their dog is completely out of control and the onwer feels so helpless and the trainer has no answers for them or gave up on them. Yea in a perfect world, every owner would be perfect and and they would be well bred dogs and train them prefect from the start and sociallize them perfectly in a perfect envionment perfectly perfect- but the world is ugly, perople are dumb, people get dogs impulsively, puppy mills are at an all time high, people dont do breed research, rescues & shelters are burting out the seams with dogs that come with loads of trauma, and there really isn't enough skilled, affordable trainers, behaviorist or resources to help owners out there. He is doing large group training sessions in mass all over, with desperate owners that love their dog, which I haven't seen many others do.

I mean they all wear white coats and agree, who am I? 🥼🤓 😂 The word lemmings comes to mind. 😂 Now, used without BIAS, or financial interests funding research, it can be the best way to test things out and learn. ...

The bias is inherent, nothing needs said, no secret agreement is needed, it's obvious. Even if you aren't trying, it's subconscious to give leniency and favor to who funds you, if nothing else, for self preservation. Researchers have blown the whistle on the MULTITUDE of issues with the research process/funding, bias, etc. for many years. It must be taken carefully with a highly critical mind, a grain or tub of salt, and researching the research. Especially the funding, benefits to the researcher by their conclusions, and if results are repeatable, etc. Anything else is ONLY theory or opinion. ... And in my opinion, NOTHING superceds common sense and lived experiences. We see what is effective here. 😏👍❣️🐾🐕

wow I never thought I would listen to a podcast this long ....It started slow, but by the end I was so glad that I stayed with it. A deep dive like this -- the interviewer letting a person of interest talk freely about their craft in their own words, without being constantly "corrected" or "redirected" -- is a rarity. Riveting. Thank you so much Ivan for making this happen.

At the end of the day, positive only, balanced, and compulsion training...we're all doing this because we love dogs and love working with and living with dogs. That's the bottom line, and instead of using negative comments to drive wedges between people as some trainers do, we should focus on the fact we're all trying to make better lives for our dogs.

I think the fact that The Dog Daddy says "this is the best podcast we both have been a part of" demonstrates that he feels he was heard, understood and not judged. Personally I have never attended any of his events so I cannot offer any opinion on his methods or what he does based on some of the video clips posted. He's a very fast talker, and I mean that literally! Appreciate that he shared his history about how he is where he is. Appreciate he acknowledges his part of how he and his training is perceived. I hope if you do anther interview he could relax a bit, slow down, share some success stories, talk about any influences he's had on dog training and not be on the defensive so much. I understand why he feels that way, but I think this interview helped us see him as a person first and a dog trainer second.

This week on my podcast I had a conversation with the highly controversial trainer The Dog Daddy. While many of you might find this surprising or even potentially upsetting, my goal with my podcast is to allow all of you to learn about training methods and perspectives from trainers across the spectrum of dog training. Although Dog Daddy has created quite a rift in the dog training space, I was interested to have him explain his perspective on training so I could understand for myself, instead of relying on the words and beliefs of biased, social media influencers that are fixated on a particular ideology. My goal was not to disprove, disapprove, approve or propagate Dog Daddy’s methods or beliefs in this podcast. It was simply to provide myself and my audience with a first hand account of what, why, and how he views and utilizes dog training concepts in his training. This conversation, in my opinion, is another step in an attempt to bridge the wide gap between the two warring camps in dog training. I hope you approach this podcast with an open mind and save your decisions, beliefs, and feelings for the moment you have all of the information presented to you. I have asked other well known trainers and scientists to have conversations with me, and quite frankly they do not have the courage to take me up on my offer. If they are upset by this podcast, they are welcome to join me to talk about it. You may not like this podcast. You may love it. But understanding each other is crucial to progressing as a group. Progress lies just beyond a few difficult conversations and the sooner we begin to talk to each other, the sooner we can begin to truly make progress as an industry. That being said, if you enjoy the podcast, please subscribe and share with your friends.

Lol the calm of Ivan smoking his cigar and enjoying his drink is hilarious to me. Like they're having a chat in their living room (which is not far from the truth).

The long awaited podcast! Thank you Ivan for inviting DD. Yes, DD led a monologue rather than talking, but it is obvious what the reason for that is. After so many attacks on a daily basis, he seems to be used to having to explain himself. Ivan obviously has a lot more life experience and he clearly recognized that when he said: you have a lot to say, obviously it's always going around in your head. I hope that DD will soon recognize that he does not have to explain himself so much and that he should not come from a position of defense in every conversation. I hope that in the next year or two we will have the opportunity to see this duo again, where the real conversation will take place, because Ivan and DD definitely have something to talk about, only that DD has not yet matured in life (not as a dog trainer, but as person) for this circle of trainers.

TDD has been scamming people for 10 years at least. Back Yard Breeding. Parvo Ranch. Multiple ordinance violations. Mutliple court cases, which he lost and has not paid what he owes.... Not seeking vet treatment for a dog who died of distemper. Leaving her dead body in the bathroom of a rental property.... TDD has a long way to go to become ethical and re maturity? HUmmm he's 32 and being grifting for 10 years at least.

Yes, DD talks alot but if you watch his videos I think it is a good thing. He shares a ton of information about exactly what a client needs and gives them clarity. I think because of that, they go home and actually do the homework. I just watched the Beckman interview with DD and there was way more back and forth. He answered tough questions and showed that he is very knowledgeable on all aspects of dog training. Possibly what went wrong here was just different communications styles (or speeds lol). I would love to see them do it again.

Zac George is the king of citing studies and bringing up theories without any proof of concept. It’s scary how they market themselves as a one size fits all and convince their fans and clients punishment is not an option. It’s laughable yet scary. They never mention that balanced trainers are basically 90% positive training but knows when to use neg reinforcement and punishment when necessary. Positive only will never fully fix a difficult dog without the other part of the equation.

They don’t know any better as a client. They come for help not to question the person who they feel is their last hope. 🤦🏻‍♀️

How he sees aversives, how does he creates engagement...? Half hour, ask him Ivan😅 But is important to see you giving him space to talk and defend himself from the haters. One of the purposes of TWC👏Two ears and only one mouth. Still listening...

Dog Daddy is the best. After listening to Ivan and hearing his life story I have more respect for him than ever. Zak George needs to learn from him not attack him.

Debate & civilised discussion is important. I understand why some things are being done, and agree most of it would have been avoidable if owners had dealt with it long before, in other cases there is nothing but management due to genetics or even medical conditions such as Lyme encephalopathy which can cause aggression and the rage syndrome, regardless of rarity, those are considerations but nobody gets to walk around our society smacking/killing others just because they have a disorder if it can't be managed then they are imprisoned/sectioned away from society, with dogs we euthanise them, some spend time in there and reform. but that should be the extreme end of the chart, not a first port of call and anti-anxiety medicine is no different than putting adhd people on stimulants where the issues are nothing but masked and suppressed to force them to fit into society & learn in a set manner, instead of a way that they understand better (even for some people a drill sarge screaming in your face & pushing you to your limits isn't aversive, for some that is soul destroying, it is the making of many though (adhd people thrive there, routine, stricture, emergencies/chaos), yet put someone who is autistic there and they often struggle with the conflict aspect, as they learn different as well. medication is not a magic pill that will change years of habits. training needs to be contextual and fitting of personality and genetics of that species. we need to stop expecting dogs to be humans, I mean even decade of force free children are now running wild and unable to cope in the world because learning includes corrections that are to the degree of the social offence because every since social species has both positive and negative learnings in their world. @dogdaddy I am gonna say what some folk may be, I think you have adhd btw (motor mouth, interrupting (albeit controlled well) & hyper focused)) & that at least some of this negativity maybe coming from a racist perspective from some people (not all but some), just by typical subconscious stereotyping - Latino guy running around covered in tattoos and designer labels from head to toe, looking like a gangster with his bling, he can't be genuine, nor could he possibly be good.....I believe that is part of it. balanced trainers who do understand your methods don't back you because they are scared, they don't have your resources to fight off multi millionaire Zak George, he could destroy their businesses very quickly by using the same tactics, other don't want to get dragged into politics, instead wishing to focus just on dogs and results.

That is a good question-what do you do if another dog charges you and your dog?

I wanted to see if Ivan was going to give them pointers on how to be a better trainer but it looks like Ivan really wanted to give him the opportunity to talk. Maybe there was more conversation off camera but this conversation must’ve impact her dog daddy. Dog daddy is now learning from Cali canine from the Netflix documentary. I think the timing is a coincidence. But I think we all need mentors, even those who mentor others are trying to find other people to learn from.

Susan Garrett, Kikopup, Michael Shikashio - all have switched to positive training methods. Well, actually not sure about kikopup or Michael as far as if they ever used aversive methods. Susan Garrett has multiple books on the subject though. Maybe Leslie McDivett too? I started training years ago when everyone used a choke collar. None of the instructors trained their own dogs that way though. The average Joe doesn't know how to use it or even put it on the right way, let alone know the proper fit for one. Had a Whippet back then who would shut down if you raised your voice even and of course, absolutely hated the choke collar/training. Finally got a CD on her. What about the dogs with collapsing tracheas and the people living in countries where the prong collar is outlawed? Was nice to hear Dog Daddy say, sure it is better to train using positive reinforcement. I guess people listen because they are finally ready, but even the students once the owners take over the leash again, go right back to tight leashes, no relief or release for doing something correctly, sometimes not even any acknowledgement to confirm the dog is correct. He is right, that we can all learn something from others. I take classes from all different groups/trainers/schools. The one class in particular, get your dog used to wearing a muzzle, even if your dog is wonderful, but especially if you travel with them. If something bad ever happens, the first thing a vet will do is put a muzzle on your dog, so why freak them out twice - once with the muzzle, and once with whatever the vet has to do to the dog. Tell all my students this and my own dogs all have muzzle training. In fact, my little dog hasn't worn one in years - got the muzzle out the other day - she wagged her tail. Woo hoo! Hope that helps.

I’m interested in this episode because I don’t use punishment in training, but I think Ivan at least uses it in a manner that is logical and not excessive. I respect his opinion and I’m curious to hear what he thinks of DD.

The DD is awesome with dogs. All the haters in the comnments are just jealous because he is so young yet more successful than they are AND English is his second language. I admire him. Take a look at his personal dogs...he can walk 6 of them down busy city streets during Halloween without a lead...Amazing! Cesar and the DD are the best dog handlers who aren't afraid to show what they do. All these other dog handlers that criticize them only talk...we never see any of their work online, probably because they can't do what these two can and are green with envy.

Ivan, I want to let you know that I enjoyed this video, especially the last third where you begin a back and forth conversation with probing questions and some surprising answers. I have been intrigued with his videos because quite frankly he handles damn scary dogs over and over and it’s amazing to watch him calm them down, flick off the muzzles (if they have one) and watch the dog, tail wagging being handed to its owner. One of my favorites are the pair of Jack Russell type little dogs because one actually manages to bite him or his pants and before you know it they are crawling onto his lap. Say what you will but he’s very good at what he does! I read some comments, lots of labeling and derision one threw the word narcissist around but I listened to the end. I agree with you, he had a lot to get off his chest. But narcissist? Nope, that couldn’t be further from the truth since a narcissist does not ever admit to having dome some some things poorly, admit he could do some things better and advocates for continued self improvement. I really admire how you patiently brought him to that relaxed point where we could really see who he was, how he thought and what he represented. I didn’t know until you said it about the controversies. It must be incredibly stressful to be held up as the poster child the positive only movement uses by manipulating his videos, yet he handles it and keeps going believing in himself and helping owners with dogs most trainers would never and could never take on. I came away from this with great respect for Augusto, the Dog Daddy, and I don’t give a hoot what anyone thinks 😂😂

Ivan looks bored 🤣🤣

I came here as a new subscriber to Dog Daddy and to admire the awesome tactics used by Dog Daddy to bring wild dogs back into the fold, I wondered why the comments were so defensive for Dog Daddy, I found it almost funny since behaviors involved in the comments and from other "influencers" (* I figured out were the boisterous barkers in the background growling at the pack here)... Was so obviously similar to the dogs during a training session, yet no one noticed this.😂 It made me laugh but irritated the innocence and sanctity of the channel was violated. Why? Who's doing this? Well the big mouth guy complaining seems to be an opportunist looking for clicks, but he's dangerous. Do we train or euthanize? Ugh, why can't I just find a corner of the internet un-encumbered by grifting enduced WWE matches?! Sigh... Tried to ignore it.. Then I watched a podcast mention the big mouth was getting government involved... Cuz asking for more government is so smart 🙄😒🤥... 🤣 I'm like... Oh nah.. Stop. This is the most unintelligent thing I've ever seen. So... Here's my two cents, value based back when 2¢ was worth something...😆 ​To those asking if I would still support Dog Daddy if they were getting hurt... honestly... They're not getting hurt... BUT... Respectfully, Even if they were a little.... YEAH. I'd be okay with it, especially if it saves their LIFE and the LIFE of EVERY animal and HUMAN they encounter! Have you seen wild dogs train each other? Especially mother dogs, They communicate and teach each other by doing things you'd possibly consider very violent, yet they love each other. It's for their own good. If you're worried about dogs getting hurt, there's a million you can go save right now with your own money and training methods. I suggest you do that first. Please share videos with your work. Start with Dog fighting trainers and affected dogs. THAT is actual abuse!!! As a kid, I HAD to be violent with a dog to save someone from being bit.. Again, as it was acting viscous and already got a bite in.. by a pitbull... I forgot my treats that day.. Sarcasm... Had I known about the proper placement of the leash and the prong collar even existing, it NEVER would've happened as I could've taught my friends and neighbors this. I think the owner eventually had to surrender the dog to the shelter, which also couldn't handle it, so they killed it. A training like this would've saved EVERYONE involved. This goes for another guy in my state who's dog killed a child. ~My other comment added on: Dogs are wild animals that have been domesticated. Domesticated is where YOU are BENEFITING from the animals ALREADY & CONTINUALLY being broken of their wild tendencies... and maintained for generations. This can be undone in ANY animal from them not being handled properly. Any animal must be broken of their wild nature to fit into a respectable society. Horses, cows, rabbits, goats, etc. Each one will have a different difficulty, and needs, based on their existence and experiences. Some farmers use castration asap on their bulls to prevent them from overpowering and becoming a dangerous threat for anyone around. Indians would break horses by taking them to water, deep enough to manage this breaking in. It's highly effective. Highly effective breaking in only needs done once. Then the animal can trust, if your able to manage their worst, your strong enough to watch over them. This builds trust when done in earnest. Going outside the bounds by ACTING OUT in anger against them, THAT'S abuse. You're the one needing broken and domesticated. If you FEEL BETTER by hurting an animal in any way, that's the sign it's abuse. The RELEASE you FEEL... is that signal. It also won't "train" a dog the way you think, because abuse is OBVIOUS to them. They will COWER in fear as the abuser comes near. That is NOT the case here. I believe you're being gaslit and emotionally abused by disingenuous grifters. This is wretched and wrong. No one should treat you that way. Seems being a dangerous dog, attacking, and barking loudly about & at.. Dog Daddy & others.. 🤑🤑🤑🤑 ... Is highly lucrative for "influencers" & the orgs looking for an emotionally triggering cause they can abuse their packs with, as they feast on the carcasses of euthanized dogs no one will touch, and enrich themselves off all the drama proceeds 🤑🤑🤑... While enriching big pharma & lobbyists. ... & everyone's rights, liberty and freedom get trampled & families are left with few options for their beloved pet who is a family member. Who benefits from it becoming more socially acceptable for dangerous dogs being euthanized? More money for the top dogs.. 🤑💰💸🌭🥼 Check the view count on their accounts, mentioning Dog Daddy is hundreds of times more lucrative than even their own videos showing what THEY bring to the table. These disingenuous people are ALL crooks! *Allegedly and imo As for acting like they're better or "right" cuz muh science... 😂 the "scientific community" 😂 so called.. yeah they learn by observing those ACTUALLY in the field... Anyway, MANY are just paid to find fancy ways to say whatever their benefactors want. Check the research funding and lobbying activists using said research. *MANY NOT ALL* These disingenuous orgs are nothing, and get zero funding, WITHOUT some EMOTIONALLY charged Cause to incite donors and activism! It's great marketing for them basically. They literally train activists how to use emotional manipulation to incite the normies. I know. I was an activist and state delegate for a well known org. I stopped after realizing they did little to nothing for actual patients, while leaders live high off the hog & gaslighting with psychological manipulation for their benefit. They train you to engage government, politicians, social media, etc... & how to... in 1 min use highly effective emotionally triggering examples to incite politicians... to do your will basically. Just wretched. Full of corruption. Never support or lend legitimacy to ANY org you have not fully researched. Where does their money come from, where does it go, who benefits, what's their mission statement, what are the fruits of their work, can they handle criticism, are they sincere or just doing their hired task, etc. To many of these large "do gooder" cause based activist groups or non profits, are just enriching themselves and /or acting out from their own psychological issues & cause more harm than good. God bless the ones doing righteous work, they're often highly under funded! Test them. Contact them with hypothetical questions you think are best, maybe ask about them helping fund your care of several abandoned animals.. Or something similar, but a real world need to help a regular person or rescue, financially struggling, maybe with a dangerous animal or several. Will they pay for all to get vet visits, spay /neutered and shots, or a few months pet food or anything else, including training for you helping care for them? Will they train viscous pitbulls? Etc. To many will happily take your money on behalf of these animals, claiming they care about their lives, but will not put their money where their mouth is. 💥⚖️ Freedom, rights, liberty... These get abused with every well intentioned law that's passed. 🗽💥 Often you might think your good intentions are saving one, but your hurting another. Most times it's best to let things be & live and lead by example. Nothings ever perfect, that is life. God bless 💯💥😃👍🐾🐶🐺🐕‍🦺🐕🦮🐩💜💙🌈🏞️🌄 Also, weaponizing Google reviews devalues actual reviews and any true help they can give you. You might expect paid reviews and activist reviews nowadays... But then... What's real anymore? They're making reviews pointless and more like a place full of emotional children or the unhinged. We need to be able to trust reviews, especially related to our family, pets, health and care of those we love. Many heavily rely on the opinions of other customers. Posing as such to leave a disingenuous remark is a disservice to everyone and the process as a whole. Let's lift each other up more than being the aggressive dog on the block. Times are tough for many people right now. Let's bless each other and bring grace and mercy to each other. Find someone to bless and encourage. Bear one another's burdens joyfully. Have a beautiful day full of love ❣️🤗🐕‍🦺🐩🐕🐺🦮🐶🐾💯😃👍💯

@@beckerthenbeck people like you always will find something to bitch about 🤷‍♂️

He seems to have fear and aggression confused.

From the legend, Omar von Muller, to this????? JFC 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Sort of get where Augusto is coming from, and why his story , however long it is, is important for him to tell and us to hear. Thank you Ivan for having him on your podcast!

Dog Daddy's results speak for themselves no one needs any explanation or understanding all you have to do is witness the way the dogs are and the people are once he's trained them
