📍TORONTO 🇨🇦 PEACEFUL PROTEST THIS WEEKEND! Andre Yeu from When Hounds Fly Dog Training went on CBC Toronto to discuss “Dog Daddy” Augusto DeOliveira, who is bringing his dangerous and problematic training methods to Toronto on Saturday (Sep 2) and Sunday (Sep 3).
Local trainers in Toronto are planning to peacefully demonstrate and raise awareness about ethical, modern, evidence-backed dog training methods that effectively address all types of issues (including severe aggression and fear).
DOG DADDY FANS! I am genuinely glad to have you here. If you have questions or concerns please feel free to let me know in the comments! I also made a video just for you to explain in detail what our issues with Augusto’s methods are, and why. You can see it here: https://youtu.be/cJDALfAJrK8
Remember, education is the key to change. By highlighting what's wrong with such methods, we can guide those who might be misinformed towards humane, effective, and scientifically supported methods instead. If we stay silent, we risk allowing these seriously harmful, dangerous and unnecessary techniques to spread further without being challenged.
Our goal is not to attack an individual, but to empower people with the right information so they’re fully ready to make informed decisions for the well-being of themselves and their dogs.
For those who would like to peacefully protest his methods, or to be available to kindly try to educate his followers about the issues surrounding the methods Augusto promotes, I encourage you to show up at as many of his events as possible and demonstrate peacefully and nonviolently.
