It is impossible for me to ignore the video that has surfaced regarding the movie A Dog’s Purpose and the training of a German Shepherd where the dog is forced into raging waters by his trainer. I CAN speak out because my history of training more than 14,000 dogs allows me to do so. The production company, including the director and actors, can make all the excuses they deem necessary to save the movie, but what I saw in that video speaks volumes about everyone involved. No ‘investigation’ is necessary. No script changes are necessary. No changes in trainers are necessary. No firings are necessary. No apologies are necessary. It is not A DOG’S PURPOSE to be treated in this manner, and no person who truly loves animals should support this movie no matter what changes are made. Again, the video speaks for itself. The trainer, the writer, the director, the producer, the actors, should all be ashamed of themselves. By the way, I could have trained that dog to swim in those same raging waters with very little training and props.
