As PC Stuart Davidson pins the dogs, on their sides, a technique known as an alpha roll the dogs snarls, and is then shown biting the officer as he tries to pick him up.
Behaviourist Victoria Stillwell, who holds annual dog bite prevention conferences and also has her own dog training TV Show in the US, claims the dogs are set up to fail.
She said: Alpha rolls are a very outdated technique that exacerbates aggressive responses even in the mildest of dogs.
PC Stuart Davidson is putting dogs in a much stressed situation. Clearly he misunderstands what he is putting dogs through and he totally misread the body language signals of these dogs, or he just doesn't understand them. He’s not offering an opinion; he is just assuming he knows what the dog is thinking.”

PC Stuart Davidson is incompetence in being able to assess a dog properly. How many other dogs have been mis-assessed, I wonder? He was handled in completely the wrong manner even the nicest of dogs would react to this
