Strictly Come Dancing Contestant Under Fire for "Outdated" Dog Training Methods
TV personality Graeme Hall faces backlash from fellow trainers over his approach on 'Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly.'
Graeme Hall, known as 'The Dogfather' and a contestant on the upcoming season of Strictly Come Dancing, is facing criticism from other dog trainers regarding his methods depicted on the show "Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly." The BBC had reportedly hoped Hall's participation would appeal to a broad audience, but his approach has drawn ire.
Sources indicate that fellow professionals have labeled Hall's techniques as "outdated" and have raised concerns about how dogs are treated on his program. These critiques suggest a disconnect between Hall's popular appeal and established professional standards in dog training.
Despite the controversy surrounding his training methods, Hall has achieved recent success on the dance floor. Last week, he and his professional partner Lauren Oakley topped the leaderboard, earning a score of 31.
The criticism centers on Hall's approach as seen on his show, "Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly." This has led to him being described as being "in the doghouse" among some in the professional community.
