Will he ever meet a dog that isn't trying to take over the world?

He claims that by pinning the dog 22 times a day, you will establish yourself into the alpha position. And teach the dog... something? Helplessness is my guess.

Is this an approach you would recommend or practice?
Well it will definitely teach the dog something... the dog will learn that it was/is right to be fearful, and in order to avoid this human threat, it should bite!
