On a recent episode of Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly, TV dog trainer Graeme Hall insisted that a dog who very clearly needed veterinary treatment was being 'a diva' and 'a madam' and was merely 'thinking she was in charge'.

This dog was visibly terrified by walking on a slippery floor and would stop on walks. Anyone with any knowledge of dogs would know that this animal needed to be checked for pain and/or injury.

This is sadly the latest in a long line of cases where Mr. Hall uses outdated methods and thinking in order to 'train' dogs for nothing more than entertainment. Channel 5 have a responsibility to ensure that their programming does not threaten the welfare of animals.

Enough is enough.
