Im sorry but that is abuse. Absolutly, and the animal abuse division of the police department need to know about it. the person triaing you needs to be fired and needs to have animal cruelty charges pressed against them.

the way they are doing things is a very very crude form of training/dicipline.

If it were me i would call the police and file an animal abuse report. You can NOT be fired over such an action if you dont allow them to.

Do the owners of the place realize this is going on? If they just own it and dont see to the day to day operations they might not realize what is going on. If they do know, and they do condone such behavior to the dogs then they also need to have charges of animal abuse pressed against them and have thier business shut down.

There are ways to handle any situation with a dog that do not involve abuse. Dogs do not think like people at all, they sort of have "Modes" that they are in. Rest mode, explore mode, fight mode, submission mode, etc, etc. the trick to getting dogs to do what you want is to get them in the mode you wish them to be in. simple movements, jesters, stuff like that are more than adequate for normal dog training scenarios, and any seasoned dog trainer will agree.

if they are training for police and stuff like that, the training is a lot less polite and sometimes might injur a dog, however, they are beign trained to take down fleeing suspects and need to be able to focus on thier target despite the chaos surrounding them, as well as toughen them physically and psychologically. However, being starved, sprayed in the face with a hose, etc, are not acceptable means regardless of the training program.

The only acceptable time to physically harm a dog is if you are defending yourself or somebody else from the dogs attack. other than that, there are far more effective methods of training. Beating the dog when the dog does something wrong, well, the dog really doesent usually know what it has done wrong.

dogs and humans do not think alike at all. they need to know that and treat the dogs appropriatly or have thier kennel shut down for animal abuse.

 

This pic is of my girls and I.

If i caught somebody doing any of that stuff to my dogs i would do it right back at them.
