Earlier this week, we promised that the voices of those concerned with “Dog Daddy” Augusto DeOliveira’s training methods would not go unheard. Today, that pledge came to life as dog training advocates including courageously engaged Augusto in a dialogue about his dangerous practices.
As onlookers gathered, the conversation unfolded. Augusto’s followers and the public were invited to join in this critical examination of dog training methodologies. While differences remain, today marked a significant step toward a more informed and compassionate discourse.
We are so grateful to Lauren @sitstaystella_ for her bravery, and to all who continue to seek the best for their dogs, guided by evidence and empathy ❤️
