I think he wanted to re-create the scenario and then 'correct' it his way immediately.
Why does he not teach the dog 'back up' when things get dicey? Yesterday, a rottie mix interupted a party at my friends. At the party was a lab and my foster. The dog was dominent and when he went for my little one, I just stood up, pointed and used a big voice saying 'back up'. I am certain that this dog did not understand (as we found his french owners 3 hours later) but the gesture was enough to advise him that he was too close too fast. (BTW - we did intergrate all 3 in the secured backyard and everything went smooth....nice dog).
