I've been critical of Millan but at least he seems to care about the welfare of the dogs.

Pattison otoh seems to be interested only in himself without regard to human or animal. He repeatedly puts dogs in danger. In one episode he flung the front doors open and then the external gate allowing dogs to run into a working road, in another case he nearly killed a little dog by using a walking harness to rappel him up a cliff - the dog fell in the river. He's taken dogs with no off leash control by the rushing river to make his point. He's destroyed property, vandalized walls and assaulted owners by throwing things at them.

He counsels driving your knees and walking into the dog to get them to respect you. He advocates what he calls 'facial corrections' which just means hitting the dog on the face. Hanging to get a dog to sit he claims teaches 'respect' and using reinforcement is a 'negotiation' and a 'bribe'

In one excellent example showing how lousy a trainer he is, he uses his dog. He says 'SIT' and the dog sits, he then says something like 'BANANA' and the dog sits. This was his demonstration of a "trained dog".

In reality this is a dog that has learned to sit to avoid being hanged and it shows ZERO stimulus control and no stimulus discrimination.
