  (to anyone who hasn't seen the second video, it shows the owner pulling quickly on the leash of the dog) I admit this is somewhat controversial. I grew up with large dogs (dobermans, german shepherds, mostly) from a young age and philosophies about this shift. That said, the dog doesn't appear to be wearing a choke or pinch collar and my personal opinion is that the action likely caused no pain or discomfort. Supporters of it would argue that it snaps the dog's attention from what it's doing (straying toward the street in this case). That said, I understand if people find it unfortunate (or even disgusting) but to use the same word I did would cause people to infer that you might be comparing the two things (an almost-certainly unlawful arrest and murder of the dog, with the way the owner corrected him). I hope that wasn't your intention.

  Are you familiar with working dogs? I have had a rottweiler and a GSD and my vet (faculty at Cornell Vet School) and my dog trainer recommended using a pinch collar and doing corrections by snapping the leash. That being said they also recommended against the long flexilead (i think thats the brand) leash and/or having the window down far enough that the dog could jump out. My dogs never would have walked in front of me on a leash like that.

  As disgusting as it is to see the cops shoot the dog, this video appears to show the dog's owner making a series of poor decisions. "Oh, here's a SWAT thing going down, let me pull right up in my car, and then get out - with my huge dog - and check it out up close, while letting my car stereo blare." Within his rights, sure. Intelligent, not so much.
