Yesterday, Dog Daddy Augusto DeOliveira failed to appear at his own scheduled meetup. However those who care deeply about the ethical training of dogs showed up and represented! We continue to remain focused on raising public awareness about the significant issues associated with the methods Augusto uses with the dogs he trains. As of now, his next planned stop is Toronto, Canada. If anyone has information on his specific Toronto location, we urge you to share it so that we can alert the venue in advance of the risks involved with the practices Augusto regularly conducts during his training sessions. Canadian Border Services has opened a case file (after independently looking into Augusto’s practices and having their own concerns). They have asked anyone with additional information to submit an anonymous tip - there is a link with instructions for how to do this if you would like: https://Linktr.ee/zakgeorge Moreover, it appears that @Peerspace is facilitating his venue bookings. We have reached out to them several times without a reply and it appears as though they have no intention of stopping these bookings from continuing which is deeply disturbing given the public safety risk his methods promote. We’ve publicly called on them to request a statement clarifying why they find it acceptable to support someone with a problematic history in both dog training and breeding practices. If you want to reach out to Peerspace, their website for submitting inquiries is available here: https://Linktr.ee/zakgeorge Augusto has also announced a world tour. Visit the link in my bio to sign petitions and reach out to local media outlets in your area to alert them about this cause, as well as organizations committed to advocating for humane dog training practices. Together we can continue to make it clear that outdated, harmful dog training practices will not go unchallenged. For those looking to help us in raising awareness about the methods that are being promoted to the public by this contentious trainer, additional resources and links are available here: https://linktr.ee/zakgeorge Thank you so much to everyone who continues to stand up for dogs and their people ❤️
