I agree Brad Patterson is an ***.
I used to go to his message board and someone posted videos about one of his training events. They looked very interesing and I could see how the dogs and the owners benefited. But, in one, a woman was challenging him (just by asking his background) while he had one of her goldens on a leash. He became very insulted and defensive and took it out on her dog. He tried to get the dog to sit and he wouldn't so he pulled up on the leash until his front paws were off the ground. Then while returning the dog to her he smacked the dog hard on his nose. I couldn't see what the dog did to cause this reaction. Everyone on the message board defended his actions, except two, and his supporters were very viscious. This is when I left the board.
I don't watch Victoria (can't get the station) and I do watch Ceasar. Some of his stuff makes sense, others I discount. It is amazing how many times I hear people say "I need Ceasar" when the dog is misbehaving.
