A video of a man selling a German Shepherd went viral in 2014 due to the man’s ability to control it.
Many people noticed that they did not leave the master at all during the walk. But years later this secret was revealed.
Augusto Deoliveira, owner of Griffin Shepherd Kennels, in Massachusetts, hit the headlines after the video was released of him walking five dogs without leashes who didn’t move from his side.
This video received 12 million views and raised speculation that their owner used shock collars and that the dogs in this video were being obedient because they were frightened.
His kennels were put under state quarantine in 2015 after an inspection found a number of sick dogs, according to Boston 25 News.
An outbreak of parvovirus, a highly contagious and sometimes deadly canine disease, was discovered at the kennel.
A post even accused him of inbreeding at the kennel, according to an article from Wide Open Pets which also said Augusto no longer runs the kennels in Massachusetts.
Augusto told the Daily Mail this year that he had been able to communicate well with dogs since he was 3 years old.
“I consider my correction techniques to be extremely effective and the gentlest corrections available.
“I don’t use abusing, harsh devices to correct dogs – a gentle touch or a gentle tug at the leash is enough.”
Today, in 2023, Augusto calls himself “The Dog Daddy” and is a huge influencer on social media. The famous dog trainer and breeder has millions of views on TikTok and thousands of followers on social media.
