Pattison in Florida?

I'll try to keep my eye out -- haven't heard anything about him tho

 Pattison is a total tool.  Abusive to humans and dogs alike.   I remember in one episode he yelled and screamed a dog into a corner until it simply urinated.  He claimed the dog was trying to "win" by manipulating him

Give me a few moments of time with Pattison and I can fix it to where he can't abuse a dog, or human, ever again.

It's either that or file countersuit against him for the mental anguish he gives to others. Seriously, the only thing you can do with a bully like him is stand up to him. I simply won't put up with bullies.

So, someone please advise those to whom he has threaten defamation suits to counter with mental anguish and animal endangerment suits. In any case, do not back down.

People like Pattison are all over the world. We have some lovely examples here. I too prefer the "personal" approach, it seems to work. Guaranteed extinction of umimpressive human behaviour. I won't go into details. I have found very little else gets the results.

The ones that make my blood really boil are the charlatans that try to have a bit of both ways. You know out with the belt and biff with the good ol boys and chuck a few treats or toys with however is paying the bills.  Well i be dammed....

I know, there are so many of his type, and so little time and only one of me. But, hey, perhaps that is my windmill against which I must tilt my lance.Until my dying breath, I will not put up with a bully. I have faced bullies before and every time I call their bluff, they back down. See, it's hard to bully someone who cannot be intimidated.

As a kid i was bullied within an inch of my life, and then one day i learnt that if i went right over the top, the bullies just dissappeared. All i saw was their backs as they ran away. So much so that once in a while i would make a preemptive strike and do something that was so OTT that i just got left alone.Now i wish ardently that there was a non violent way of dealing with them, and i often check out these kind of methods. But i hate to say it, sometimes a word or two said in a particular way does a whole lot more than committee meetings, or pleas to some kind of morality. Of late a few miscreants had restarted the idea that if their dogs did wrong in the ring, the best idea was to give them a flogging behind the nearest outhouse of building. I found that suggesting that i might just have to do the same to the human end seemed to make the habit dissappaer again.

A bit like you, i never ever back down against a bully. 

I used to mention this before in other debates here and a former member really got tired of it.

I trained my work crews the way I train my dog, preferring to reward their successes than to punish extensively their mistakes. It worked wonders. Except for this one guy who was sent to my project to hand one section of it. Within a day or so, he was walking around watching what my guys are doing and telling them what they should be doing. Next morning, he comes in and starts telling me what the plan should be for the day. I literally, physically barked, like a dog, very, very loudly. He actually flinched in the sonic onslaught. Then, in my normal, quiet voice, I said, "This is my fire hydrant." And I told him what the plan was and never had another problem from him.

Some people are like that. And my bark had meaning because I don't bluff, I don't bully. The point of the exercise is that I can and will talk over him, louder than him, and will maintain my position, allowing him to back away and mark his own fire hydrant. So, like a true dog confrontation, we exchanged barks, mine was louder, we established perimeters and working rules and got along fine.
