Brad Pattison is an abusive ignorant person who knows next to nothing about dogs. In an interview I heard him complain about the "fancy" term of reinforcement. He uses body as a weapon to move dogs out of the way, instead of teaching them. He jerks the sh** out of dogs as seen in a youtube series and he perpetually believes that all dogs are trying to usurp humans.

He is a hucksters, selling his products as the panacea to all of your dogs problems, his use of choke collars (and yes, half choke collars are still choke collars) borders on abuse. He punishes the dogs without ever teaching them what they should be doing. It's like watching a lion tamer from the 18th C, except without the whip.

His diploma mill "school" is possibly the worst of all and show how greedy his is, only into the money. There are plenty of stories in his forum about people with no experience in owning - much less training - dogs who take his lame course to start their own brute force approach just like him.

Millan is not much better, he too relies on punishment to drive the dog into "calm submissiveness" - the rest of us who studied pysc call it LEARNED HELPLESSNESS.
