(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.
