E414- 7 More Dogs Reportedly Passed Away In This Trainers Care...We Need Answers Part 2

[SPEAKER_00]: A celebrity DJ's dog is dead and the owners don't have answers. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, this is part two of a series, and I honestly never do any type of in vests of Git Tori series, I guess, is what you can call this. [SPEAKER_00]: But as a pro dog trainer who has a board and train facility and as somebody who deeply cares for dogs and as somebody who has a platform, I have to say something about this.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you guys don't know, these guys basically boarded their dog for a board and train program with this dog owner, a dog trainer in the Hollywood area in California. [SPEAKER_00]: and they never got the dog back. [SPEAKER_00]: The dog had passed away and this is ongoing investigation. [SPEAKER_00]: There's new accounts and new stories continuing to come up now.

[SPEAKER_00]: The dog trainer's name is Jeffrey Todd at a smart dog training in California and he is deleted. [SPEAKER_00]: his Instagram account entirely, and there has been over seven people who have confronted the, not confronted, but I guess confided into the owners who also lost their dog Duncan, the Bernie's Mountain Dog, that they have also lost their dog to this particular trainer, and I am absolutely baffled.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're diving into it right now. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's open up with one of the initial screenshots and kind of like break to the audience that the owner has made. [SPEAKER_00]: Here we go. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't even have words to express how I'm feeling or where to begin, but please never, ever, leave your dog with Jeff at SmartStug training.

[SPEAKER_00]: We did it and we thought there was best for our family and we let the dog. [SPEAKER_00]: We left the dog. [SPEAKER_00]: Dogs, sorry, for some basic leash training while we were at a town. [SPEAKER_00]: Within 48 hours, we received a call that our best friend had been training at the park and an extreme heat wave, question mark.

[SPEAKER_00]: Was being transferred to a dog boarding facility we never approved of, question mark. [SPEAKER_00]: And passed away from heat exhaustion somewhere along the way. [SPEAKER_00]: He was never even taken to the vet. [SPEAKER_00]: We were called hours later. [SPEAKER_00]: Please never leave your dog with this company.

[SPEAKER_00]: We are absolutely broken, period and quote. [SPEAKER_00]: Guys, I still, I still, still, still don't understand this. [SPEAKER_00]: As again, as somebody who has a dog training facility in a board and training facility, I did an interview with a magazine yesterday on this case. [SPEAKER_00]: And they asked me like, what is your SOPs?

[SPEAKER_00]: What is standard, right, operations? [SPEAKER_00]: And I said, look, anybody who gets into the dog, this guy is not in the dog world because he cares about dogs, period. [SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't. [SPEAKER_00]: If you are bringing dogs out in, [SPEAKER_00]: 80 to 100 degree weather for hours at a time with them obviously struggling then you are not in it for the dogs like our standard procedures at our facility is if at any point in time the temperature gets around above 85 degrees a our trainers don't want to go outside and train [SPEAKER_00]: and B, the dogs don't do well with that.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not only dangerous, obviously if you leave them out for long periods of time, which why would you, but apparently this guy did, but they also don't train well. [SPEAKER_00]: This is a Bernie's mountain dog. [SPEAKER_00]: This is a double-coded dog. [SPEAKER_00]: He was outside in that heat.

[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you don't care about dogs. [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, and he probably doesn't have a facility. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, many dog trainers don't have a facility. [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not, it's not, whether you're good or you're bad, it's just some people don't have the, they don't have a facility.

[SPEAKER_00]: So expensive words, whatever, right? [SPEAKER_00]: And, but what I'm having a hard time with is, okay, does this guy keep his, like, keep the [SPEAKER_00]: And then he was in cohoots with another boarding facility, which I don't know if it was, you know, malicious or not, maybe he boards his board and train dogs there, and when I just don't understand this, like, this guy obviously is not in it for dogs.

[SPEAKER_00]: And after the first dog who had passed away, this guy should have been at the business. [SPEAKER_00]: Like he should have been closed down. [SPEAKER_00]: It should have been enough, right? [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'll be the first to say, when you were in the dog space and you care for hundreds and if not thousands of dogs a year, things happen.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like dogs get injured, dogs get sick, dogs get lumps, bumps, sores, like these things do happen. [SPEAKER_00]: Dogs are completely taken out of their environment. [SPEAKER_00]: Surrounded by different things, different smells, different clean supplies, different beds, different people, different dogs, different environments.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like things happen, just like a kid. [SPEAKER_00]: Like you bring a kid to the dog or you bring a kid. [SPEAKER_00]: To human day care like at some point in time the kids gonna get hurt. [SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna get a call. [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, so and so bump does need bump does head bump does knows He's throwing up whatever these things happen.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's that there is no Like good or bad versus like oh, if your dog got sick at this place like you know if your dog gets kennel call for something like These things happen they're inevitable if you work with as many dogs as [SPEAKER_00]: Most people do who have these facilities like these things are going to happen.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can't, dogs go to dog parks that bring their dog in for boarding, they bring their dog in for daycare, things happen. [SPEAKER_00]: Right? [SPEAKER_00]: This isn't that. [SPEAKER_00]: This is gross negligence. [SPEAKER_00]: You on your own accord, this is in your control. [SPEAKER_00]: All the other things that we were just talking about are out of our control, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: It's 85, 90, 100 degrees out. [SPEAKER_00]: We don't bring double-coded dogs out to the park in 85 plus degree weather to train for hours at a time. [SPEAKER_00]: That is dangerous. [SPEAKER_00]: Not only is it dangerous, it is absolutely awful for the dogs training. [SPEAKER_00]: They can't think they're just trying to cool their body down, they're shutting down, and they're trying to survive.

[SPEAKER_00]: So again, this person does not care about the dogs. [SPEAKER_00]: They care about money. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, one interesting thing that somebody commented on my YouTube channel was this could be the old bait and switch, which apparently there's people out there that will actually tell owners that the dog has passed away and they sell the dogs.

[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting. [SPEAKER_00]: But to me, that makes no sense because the owners have already probably paid thousands of dollars for the board and train, so we got that money. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like a scumbag who he is, he's probably just, and I honestly am reluctant to say that because I try to give people the benefit of doubt.

[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't spoken to this person and these are allegations, but obviously, you know, I believe what I'm seeing. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think these two individuals, I know nothing about these two people who own this dog. [SPEAKER_00]: I get, I haven't spoken with them. [SPEAKER_00]: I get absolutely no benefit from this.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just somebody who feels like this dog dunking and all the other dogs need justice for. [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't want this person. [SPEAKER_00]: If this is true, I don't want this person to obviously, it's true. [SPEAKER_00]: These guys don't have their dog, I shouldn't say that. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just, I have mixed emotions about crucifying somebody online without actually talking to them, but obviously this is true, because this person has not come out.

[SPEAKER_00]: These owners wouldn't be doing this. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't have their dog anymore. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just, I just, it's just hard to believe that [SPEAKER_00]: I just don't understand this, like you obviously don't care about dogs because if you did, you would not have these dogs out, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: You'd be like, hey, you know what? [SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to the park. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe we're going to go to Home Depot. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe if you don't have a facility, you're going to Home Depot. [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to lose. [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to a place that's stuck.

[SPEAKER_00]: Friendly that has air conditioner or you bring them to the boarding facility and say, hey, these dogs are too hot. [SPEAKER_00]: I can't work them. [SPEAKER_00]: And then maybe you text the owners and go, hey, we didn't work Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, because it was, oops. [SPEAKER_00]: frankly too hot and we don't have a facility now again when i was talking i'm kind of all over the place but i'm just it just it just works me up but i was talking to this interview yesterday from this magazine and again i was telling her like we have these little sensors in all of our rooms where our dogs are being kept [SPEAKER_00]: And if at any point in time, the sensors go above or below what we set them to, we get text message alerts, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: We also get text message alerts if our power goes out. [SPEAKER_00]: So one thing I'm super proud of if you don't know, I started my whole company in the backyard of my friend's house in a tent. [SPEAKER_00]: I started dog walking and then I started my training company now. [SPEAKER_00]: It's built out to one of the biggest dog brands in the world.

[SPEAKER_00]: And we have a 15,000 square foot facility and one of the things I'm so proud of is we have an air conditioned facility The air conditioned training can all we have an air conditioned training rooms. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so proud of that because I had a Saint Bernard for 12 years Like a Bernie's mountain dogs, they get overheated.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're hot. [SPEAKER_00]: They're double-coded dogs. [SPEAKER_00]: They're winter dogs. [SPEAKER_00]: They're cold climate dogs [SPEAKER_00]: They don't necessarily do well in hot heat, especially for long periods of time, and this especially doing any type of exercise or long exposure to heat.

[SPEAKER_00]: They don't. [SPEAKER_00]: It's dangerous. [SPEAKER_00]: It's not like, that's what I mean is this guy put these dogs in danger. [SPEAKER_00]: Screw the training aspect. [SPEAKER_00]: This is a good trainer who cares. [SPEAKER_00]: like that's irrelevant like and he's probably not obviously if he if he doesn't care for the well-being the dog how is he care for the well-being of the dog's head the mind the training the the empathy the the compassion towards dogs like that you have to have when you work with dogs [SPEAKER_00]: but we have air conditioning every room that the dogs are going to be in and then we have backup safety protocols if something were to happen you know like if the power goes out and it's a fall day at 75 we don't do anything because nothing's going to happen it's cool back there we're good the power goes out when it's 100 degrees and it's a middle of the day obviously people are there but those okay we all know right but

[SPEAKER_00]: This isn't even that. [SPEAKER_00]: This is gross negligence. [SPEAKER_00]: This is this guy putting the dogs in a bad situation Knowing that it's dangerous and obviously not having any care For the dogs in the first place because seven other dogs have passed away in this guy's care Let's read the second screenshot.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have here for Contacts from the owners is directly from the owners Instagram and this is a picture of her [SPEAKER_00]: Still heartbroken and confusing angry today. [SPEAKER_00]: We spoke to the dog boarding facility the dogs were supposed to be in transferred without our consent And they were told that they were only ever expecting one dog, which is Putin, which is their second dog.

[SPEAKER_00]: So they had I think they that's just Todd guy had both of their burners [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we'll ever know the truth about what happened to our dunk in munch. [SPEAKER_00]: All we can ever do is remember him, love him, and feel sorry every day that we put him into this position.

[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously the owners do feel sorry, and they should because the socks, like every aspect of the socks, but the thing is that bothers me the most is this could have been prevented if things didn't happen. [SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to get into that later on on some of the other some of the other cases of things that happened that the owner had hid from the general public like these guys.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if they have known, they definitely would have known, right? [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they definitely wouldn't have done it. [SPEAKER_00]: And so I can't stress this enough. [SPEAKER_00]: Like this is not normal. [SPEAKER_00]: In the dog training space, you know, the reporter actually asked a lot of good questions.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to bring up now. [SPEAKER_00]: She said, you know, other certifications are their inspections, blah, blah. [SPEAKER_00]: And I said, no, there's not like in the dog training space, dog training certifications are less important than maybe some sort of health or code inspection for a dog training facility, our building, every building, and pretty much every state has to be coded, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Electric has to be good, fire stuff has to be good, sprinkler, et cetera. [SPEAKER_00]: safety stuff, but there's no like, oh, if you have a dog boarding facility, do you have the backup temperature controls that text you if something happens? [SPEAKER_00]: What time do people get there?

[SPEAKER_00]: What time do people leave? [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have ventilation? [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have air conditioning? [SPEAKER_00]: None of these things actually, they don't happen, right? [SPEAKER_00]: So my point is, is if those things were in place, but here's, and then the dog training certification, like you could go online right now and get a dog [SPEAKER_00]: And to be honest with you, there's so many good dog trainers, excuse me, that don't have certifications, including myself for dog training that have been doing this as practitioners for decades, decades, and that's less as important as a practitioner.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's valuable to people who are just getting into it who are novice and who just are passionate about dogs, but don't know much about dogs. [SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of people like myself who got into dogs naturally because we did, you know, [SPEAKER_00]: And then I just started my career and it kind of snowballed, you know, so my point is is I think that that is an important part, but I think it's less important for the dog because and let's be frank, this guy Jeff, even if he had these things, it wouldn't matter.

[SPEAKER_00]: like obviously he's a scam artist he's taking money from people and that's what a lot of people don't realize is the dog industry is a multi multi billion dollar industry now and so you got to realize like there's going to be malicious scavengers out there just trying to make money off of pork I mean look at people who pick pocket people who in Paris who pick pocket families and their families literally can't get home from Europe little kids [SPEAKER_00]: Families who've spent an entire year saving to go see the entire tower and people will literally ruin their life without without one ounce of regret or remorse.

[SPEAKER_00]: There are absolute scumbag evil people on earth and this is obviously in that category. [SPEAKER_00]: If you are taking money from people without actually caring for the dog, [SPEAKER_00]: You're evil, like you don't do that, and there's so many different evil aspects in the dog space. [SPEAKER_00]: For example, Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift just announced that they've had this dog for a while is a Samoyad.

[SPEAKER_00]: And one thing that a lot of people don't realize is breeders are also predators on popularity and breeds. [SPEAKER_00]: So now that these guys kind of announce that they have a Samoyad, [SPEAKER_00]: now all these different breeders are going to go out and they're going to make a bunch of simoyed puppies because everybody's going to want the Travis and Kelsey, the Travis and Taylor Dog, little girls are going to be begging their parents and it's not Travis and Taylor's fall obviously I have mutual friends with both of them and I know that they're good dog owners and obviously that's not their intention but my point is is there's so many people out there [SPEAKER_00]: That are going to be predatory all towards people who have a love and care for dogs including opening up a business and taking people's money and especially for something where you're not there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, bye. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_00]: And then it's like a nightmare. [SPEAKER_00]: It's literally a nightmare. [SPEAKER_00]: It's a horror movie. [SPEAKER_00]: You drop your dog off. [SPEAKER_00]: You wave goodbye. [SPEAKER_00]: Now your dog's dead. [SPEAKER_00]: What happened?

[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody knows. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's like the horrific thing that I know that these guys are struggling with is the unknown Like what did happen? [SPEAKER_00]: What was Duncan's last moments? [SPEAKER_00]: We don't know and that's I know I know like that's got to kill them. [SPEAKER_00]: It kills me and I don't even know the dog I don't know these people [SPEAKER_00]: but that's got to kill them to know that their dog was struggling for their life and you know basically passed away at the suffocation and heat distress which is an awful way to to for anybody any dog any animal to to pass away from let's get into another message here this is on the I think her name is Madeline or Madeline I'm not sure

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I don't know them at all, but they had posted this on their personal Instagram. [SPEAKER_00]: So here's another message from somebody who had worked with Jeff Todd. [SPEAKER_00]: He killed my German Shepherd Ranger who was only a year old, I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_00]: He killed my German Shepherd Ranger who was only a year old about four years ago.

[SPEAKER_00]: He is truly the worst. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so sorry. [SPEAKER_00]: There's another one. [SPEAKER_00]: I sent this to Madeline as well, but I had a horrible experience with him. [SPEAKER_00]: My dog passed away three days after coming home from training with him. [SPEAKER_00]: He was malnourished, and we had no idea.

[SPEAKER_00]: Please keep fighting for answers. [SPEAKER_00]: I never got any justice for my sweet Leo. [SPEAKER_00]: Another one, I sent a puppy off to Jeff a few years ago, and the facility called me a few days later, saying my dog was euthanized. [SPEAKER_00]: Let me stop right there. [SPEAKER_00]: I am just...

[SPEAKER_00]: Blown, oh, I really, really, really can't believe what I, as it, like, I just, like, dogs and shelters who don't have homes, being taken care of by people who don't know them, have a better life than people who are paying this guy thousands of dollars to take care of their sweet dogs. [SPEAKER_00]: This is apps, this is actually like, [SPEAKER_00]: blowing my mind.

[SPEAKER_00]: I am really struggling to find words to understand this, which is why I'm doing this. [SPEAKER_00]: This is like flipping me on edge. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's just stop right there and think about this. [SPEAKER_00]: Again, if this was me in my facility and my dog, if somebody's dog, excuse me, passed away in our care, [SPEAKER_00]: that would be awful.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's never happened. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank god, you know, but like I said, things you happen, you know, I said this on the first episode of the series. [SPEAKER_00]: We had a dog that was super-lethargic and sort of acting weird and out of character for a board and train. [SPEAKER_00]: It was a middle-aged to later age, great day, and we called the owners.

[SPEAKER_00]: We said that your dog's being weird. [SPEAKER_00]: As all of our staff, everybody who works for us loves dogs, they wouldn't be with us if they didn't. [SPEAKER_00]: We care for these dogs, we love dogs, we want to see them do well. [SPEAKER_00]: We also don't want to see a dog get hurt injured or worse and we also can't do our job if the dog is sick or the tharject.

[SPEAKER_00]: So all these things were like, hey, come pick up your dog. [SPEAKER_00]: They did three days later, the dog passed away of like some degenerative heart disease that was out of everyone's control. [SPEAKER_00]: But my point is is we have standard [SPEAKER_00]: procedures in our in our facility and I'm sure everyone else does who is ethical and actually cares and compassionate about animals like we had an intact dog that was staying with this recently the head he was in tech which means he has his testicles and the dog wasn't used to laying on our epoxy floor and so he had a little redness on the testicles and we called the owner and we said hey your dog is just getting a little [SPEAKER_00]: Read this in your rotation.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's testicles. [SPEAKER_00]: We just want to let you know that's the type of stuff we do We weigh the dogs every week when they come in we weigh them when they when they leave we We are so Grand you all on making sure everybody knows what's going on with their dog because we understand that this is your best friend This is the person you spend your Christmas is with your birthdays with you go on vacation with you take photos with It's your therapy.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's your dog. [SPEAKER_00]: We understand that like that is wholeheartedly You [SPEAKER_00]: Part of our ethos as a company like we understand when you choose us as a company like that is a privilege There's tons of other places you can choose and we treat all of our dogs like family We want to make sure that they are getting the care that if I left my dog somewhere that I would want for them So the fact that this dog was euthanized before the like okay, you dog passed away awful then we you No, sorry, let me back up my dog was euthanized in the care [SPEAKER_00]: Do you guys understand that you drop your dog off to be trained?

[SPEAKER_00]: You pay money for this person to train your dog and they you thinize your dog. [SPEAKER_00]: They called me a few days later, saying my dog was euthanized. [SPEAKER_00]: They claimed she mulled someone and was immediately taken to be put down. [SPEAKER_00]: And there was no notifying me her death and then making arrangements for her remains.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was heartbroken by sweet maple girl. [SPEAKER_00]: I was taken away from her too soon and I was pissed because I know my girl wasn't mean. [SPEAKER_00]: I still don't believe she actually mulled someone. [SPEAKER_00]: Like this is actually, actually crazy. [SPEAKER_00]: Here's another one.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, man. [SPEAKER_00]: I just wanted to say, so sorry for your loss. [SPEAKER_00]: My friend left her dog with those people and her dog died while in their care. [SPEAKER_00]: And they didn't notify my friend until weeks after the dog had passed away. [SPEAKER_00]: And left multiple reviews on multiple websites and they were all taken down.

[SPEAKER_00]: I just... [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so there's an issue, okay, like obviously having a company, again, I'm trying to be objective. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to give you guys like full perspective of, I think it's a unique situation. [SPEAKER_00]: Because again, I am a dog trainer, I'm also a podcaster and I'm a dog lover and all my life.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so I have this unique opportunity to have different touch points objectively on all aspects here. [SPEAKER_00]: I just, I feel like they take the money, they leave the dog for dead. [SPEAKER_00]: They notify them, hey you dog passed away, or they make up something to say you're dog malt somebody was so we put them down.

[SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing, who's putting these dogs down? [SPEAKER_00]: Like one of my friends in Nashville called me and they said, hey, Tom, um, we, um, she's trainer and she, she runs a rescue and she said, hey, the vet called me and an owner just came into you, the nice, the dog and the vet was like, we're not, so she saved the dog and my point is is like, no, that's just don't put dogs down.

[SPEAKER_00]: like it's not something that they do like they don't just put dogs down like it's life or death it's an actual human it's it's a being it's it's a life they don't just like oh yeah sure bring it in we'll just put it down for you like no there's a whole process in that that has to happen [SPEAKER_00]: Unless they're doing it by themselves.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, are they ethically doing it? [SPEAKER_00]: Are they, I don't, I just don't understand. [SPEAKER_00]: Like, if I had somebody else's dog, and I went into a random vet office and said, I wanna put this dog down because it mulled somebody. [SPEAKER_00]: They would be like, who are you?

[SPEAKER_00]: Who is this? [SPEAKER_00]: Where's the records? [SPEAKER_00]: Are you the owner? [SPEAKER_00]: Like, what happened? [SPEAKER_00]: Have you talked to a trainer? [SPEAKER_00]: Have you talked to like, there's so many things that are like, mark my words. [SPEAKER_00]: Sounds like this is going to be a Netflix documentary.

[SPEAKER_00]: And [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you know, the last comment that we said, like, they called us a couple of days later, so my dog was using us. [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine bringing your dog to somebody for some leech training, and they call you, hey, we put your dog down. [SPEAKER_00]: What? [SPEAKER_00]: What?

[SPEAKER_00]: This is criminal. [SPEAKER_00]: How is this person not in jail? [SPEAKER_00]: And. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, again, kind of looking at the glass half full on the silver lining is luckily it happened to these guys who have a platform. [SPEAKER_00]: Because now I actually think this guy's name has been so exposed with what everyone's doing that I pray and hope that this guy never touches a dog again.

[SPEAKER_00]: But people who don't have a platform, I don't know what his owners do exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: I know one of them is a DJ and that's it. [SPEAKER_00]: But if they didn't have a platform, would it what I have known, would you have known, you wouldn't have known, you would not have known. [SPEAKER_00]: because I wouldn't have known.

[SPEAKER_00]: So you listening to this and you watching this, you'd never would have known that this happened unless these guys had a platform and would it have happened again? [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, because it has happened. [SPEAKER_00]: This is now the seventh time, I think. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's get in this some more.

[SPEAKER_00]: Jeff Todd killed my cousin's dog in 2024. [SPEAKER_00]: My family and their friend have posted countless reviews and they always get taken down, but it's true. [SPEAKER_00]: She had a Dalmatian name lucky for almost four years and had a baby and sent him for training so we would feel more comfortable with lucky around the baby and he never came home.

[SPEAKER_00]: The trainer said he passed away from old age and he added stress to being away from his home was too much for him. [SPEAKER_00]: He tried blaming the death of my cousin. [SPEAKER_00]: Again, could you imagine? [SPEAKER_00]: Could you imagine having the responsibility of someone else's best friend passing away in your care and calling them and then belaming them for it?

[SPEAKER_00]: Can you imagine, like this is the type of animal we are dealing with here? [SPEAKER_00]: This is so gross. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna continue here. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh, he was a rescue, but the vet had said that he had estimated between six and seven years old not nearly an old enough to pass away from old age.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so sorry for what you guys are going through. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, thanks for bringing awareness. [SPEAKER_00]: This is just, and then here's another thing is all of the reviews are getting taken down. [SPEAKER_00]: How is that happening? [SPEAKER_00]: Like, so again, for an example, I have been online presence in the dog training world.

[SPEAKER_00]: There are definitely been some reviews we have asked to be taken down because there are people who don't, like we have a dog training facility that I have about 13 hardworking, passionate dog trainers and owners that work diligently every day. [SPEAKER_00]: Again, they've committed their life to this.

[SPEAKER_00]: You only have one life and life is so freaking precious. [SPEAKER_00]: and we have all committed to helping dogs and caring for dogs that is our life. [SPEAKER_00]: That's it. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what we do. [SPEAKER_00]: And that is so amazing. [SPEAKER_00]: But if I say something online and some people, like if I said something on here that you guys didn't agree with, there's going to be a certain person that's going to find my Google page or my Facebook page.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're [SPEAKER_00]: Like, normal human beings, people with critical thinking skills are either going to, like, I don't like watch this guy or whatever, whatever, right? [SPEAKER_00]: And then they go on my Google repage and they go Tom Davis sucks and he's the worst. [SPEAKER_00]: And it dings my traders and it hurts them.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like you can have a personal vendetta about me because the hat I wore or the shoes I wore or what I said, whatever. [SPEAKER_00]: But we definitely get reviews taken down because they're not applicable. [SPEAKER_00]: at all like you know it's it's it's not fair really so that so I just want again I'm being objective here like that does happen there's definitely reviews that should be taken down because it's not fair to the you know you you go into a restaurant and You have a bet you know you have a bad experience and you leave a review sure but you go into a restaurant and [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if freaking car crashes into it and then you leave the restaurant once a review because you didn't get your dinner like that shit is not fair, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean that's a little crazy, but that stuff happens all of the time. [SPEAKER_00]: So with the fact that we're not talking about that, we're not talking about like good or bad services or refund policies or what or schedule. [SPEAKER_00]: Let me get people all the time they get really mad at us because we can't get them in fast enough and we're like, [SPEAKER_00]: We if guys you'd be shocked, we do consults with people, we say, hey, if you want to get in, let us know.

[SPEAKER_00]: Months later they go, hey, we want to get in. [SPEAKER_00]: We go, you have to do the whole process. [SPEAKER_00]: Again, they'll give us one service and then blame us that their dog is still reactive when it's crazy. [SPEAKER_00]: Like people are crazy. [SPEAKER_00]: That is part of owning any company, any business.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you guys out there own a company or a business, you know what I'm talking about. [SPEAKER_00]: But the people who are crazy don't know. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about them. [SPEAKER_00]: So it's fine. [SPEAKER_00]: So. [SPEAKER_00]: We're not talking about that. [SPEAKER_00]: We're talking about dogs.

[SPEAKER_00]: I leave a one-cell review that I found a Deadman's finger in my soup. [SPEAKER_00]: That better not come off the review page. [SPEAKER_00]: People need to know about that. [SPEAKER_00]: That is disgusting. [SPEAKER_00]: Same thing. [SPEAKER_00]: My dog died in this guy's care. [SPEAKER_00]: That should not come off the review page.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how it's happening. [SPEAKER_00]: But it is, and I, all of this is just crazy. [SPEAKER_00]: Here's another one I sent my sweet one, your old Dobe to Jeff, tied for some least training two years ago, and she was the sweetest dog ever, so chill and kind. [SPEAKER_00]: And even as a puppy, she barely went through a nipping stage.

[SPEAKER_00]: A week into training, I received the phone call saying that apparently she had last out of the member of the public and bit of guy. [SPEAKER_00]: I know what this is going, uh... she was immediately euthanized without my knowledge and we excuse me we found out that it had been kept from us for a week we never received her remains this is so hard like honestly this is like so hard [SPEAKER_00]: Every time that we called back to arrange something to get her remains, we were hung up on, or emails were never answered.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm just over, I think I have to, I have to end this. [SPEAKER_00]: This is insane. [SPEAKER_00]: This is, [SPEAKER_00]: I really hope and pray that there's justice for these dogs. [SPEAKER_00]: I hope and pray that Jeff Todd never gets to abuse dogs ever again. [SPEAKER_00]: Anybody that's associated with him, anybody that is in his circle, I just I hope that they never [SPEAKER_00]: get to be around animals again ever and I hope that this reaches as many people as it possibly can because this is just it's just too much I can't even like continue with this.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is so gross and so like it just messing with me that there's there's hard working people [SPEAKER_00]: day in and day out, bus their ass, providing the best service possible, making sure dogs are the most comfortable they possibly can be in accommodating every single little ask with the little bear at night and all the little things that we do to accommodate mostly owners but the dogs.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's guys like this who are killing dogs for money [SPEAKER_00]: and walking around like it's not happening. [SPEAKER_00]: Well guess what, buddy, you're under fire. [SPEAKER_00]: And I hope that you never touch dogs again. [SPEAKER_00]: And if you want to talk, and there's a side to this story that we aren't seeing, let me know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love to speak with you about what is going on. [SPEAKER_00]: I can only assume that Jeff Todd's silence speaks for itself. [SPEAKER_00]: If somebody accused me of stepping on a spider maliciously, I would speak out on it. [SPEAKER_00]: The fact that this is happening under people's eyes in public, dogs are literally dying at the park and everyone's like, oh, and he's just allowing it to happen, like flaunting it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me. [SPEAKER_00]: I really hope and pray it stops. [SPEAKER_00]: I really do. [SPEAKER_00]: And just no dog owners. [SPEAKER_00]: This is not happening regularly, but one of the questions the reporter did ask and I'll leave you with this is what can dog owners do to make sure that this doesn't happen to them in their dog.

[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, you know, the first thing is vibes. [SPEAKER_00]: Bibles. [SPEAKER_00]: Catch a vibe. [SPEAKER_00]: We do that with clients all the time. [SPEAKER_00]: We turn clients away because like this isn't. [SPEAKER_00]: No. [SPEAKER_00]: No. [SPEAKER_00]: Like we can do that. [SPEAKER_00]: Get a tour of the facility.

[SPEAKER_00]: If they don't give you a tour of facility, okay, why? [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe there is a reason, but if there's not, it's a little sauce. [SPEAKER_00]: We give everyone the tour. [SPEAKER_00]: If they drop off, we give everyone a tour. [SPEAKER_00]: They can see whatever they want. [SPEAKER_00]: They can open my cash register for all I care.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care. [SPEAKER_00]: We have nothing [SPEAKER_00]: Those are things to look for. [SPEAKER_00]: Look for what do you do when it gets to hot? [SPEAKER_00]: What do you do when it gets to cold? [SPEAKER_00]: What do you do in an emergency as anybody in your team first aid trained? [SPEAKER_00]: We had a dog a couple weeks ago.

[SPEAKER_00]: I came into my daycare, which I don't do often, and it was just God's kind of lining. [SPEAKER_00]: I came in, and one of my staff, we've been with this for almost 10 years, said, hey, this dog is being really weird. [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of freaking me out. [SPEAKER_00]: I said, what is he doing?

[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, like, trying to puke, but can't. [SPEAKER_00]: And I used to be a pet text instructor. [SPEAKER_00]: I used to teach first aid in CPR for dogs. [SPEAKER_00]: I used to teach the class. [SPEAKER_00]: and so that's the first on a bloat in bloat if you don't know as like basically gashic torsion a lot of times it's deadly because people don't catch it and they pass away in their sleep and i felt the dog's abdomen and i said yep this feels like bloat sounds like bloat he's uncomfortable he's a standard poodle which is common in the breed i said let's call the owner right now [SPEAKER_00]: And let them know, you know, and they were away.

[SPEAKER_00]: And we said, hey, we think your dog is bloating. [SPEAKER_00]: Can we bring your dog to the vet? [SPEAKER_00]: Like a normal freaking human being of like, oh, what do we do with this dog? [SPEAKER_00]: We care. [SPEAKER_00]: Like, like, I see a dog in the center of the road. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll pull my truck over to make sure everything's okay. [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't, I think that's normal. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying like, I'm, I, I wear a cape. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying like that's normal. [SPEAKER_00]: The fact that this guy is killing dogs for money under everyone's watchful eye is crazy work.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe it. [SPEAKER_00]: I can't believe it. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to believe it. [SPEAKER_00]: Long story short the owner said they decline. [SPEAKER_00]: They said no. [SPEAKER_00]: He's probably just being weird. [SPEAKER_00]: He's kind of weird like that They called me back and I said nope Make them let us bring the dog to the vet.

[SPEAKER_00]: So we did and yeah emergency surgery and the vet the emergency vet said this dog You would have walked in with this dog dead in the morning if you didn't do that [SPEAKER_00]: The owners were happy, but I get it, you know, people don't have the money, they can't spend, I get it, you know, but at the same time, like I'm just trying to wrap my head around like I just I know you guys are feeling my pain because you care about dogs just as much as I do, but [SPEAKER_00]: This is really tough, and I'm doing this because I don't want anybody to ever go through this again, ever.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, read your reviews. [SPEAKER_00]: Do your research, use chatGBT to do all the research, catch a vibe, go in there and talk to people, meet with people, I'm really proud of our staff, like when you talk to them, they're awesome people, they care, they get it, they're down the earth, you know, they're not trying to let get out of the room, they're awesome, like I, I, I, you know, I just, this guys obviously a complete scumbag and you should catch a vibe from that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, guys, thanks for listening, thanks for watching, God bless, and let's get some, let's share this, you know, with as many people as we can, let's get some freaking, some justice for these dogs, justice for Duncan, talk to you guys in the next one, peace.
