In a new scandal that is causing indignation in the dog education world in France, a former client of canine club in France shared a shocking video.

Besides the beating, the video also shows the pup being pulled brutally by his leash.

The images caused the French Federation for Animal Protection(FFPA) to react. They decided to press charges for animal abuse. Eric Tramson, the founder of FFPA, told local news:
This video is shocking. We do not support that a dog who was wearing a muzzle was beaten and that the trainer dragged him around violently [...] The worst is that the trainer knew he was being filmed. And at the end of the video, we can see that there are a dozen people around him, and none of them stepped in.
Luckily, the dog was not seriously injured and is now being trained by the FFPA. "He is making progress every day," says his new trainer. (Warning: Graphic content).

Eric Tramson questions the legality of certain animal professions. "Regarding the treatment of dogs there is a true omerta [code of silence] because it is an industry that brings in an enormous amount of money,`' he added.The FFPA launched a petition to create an independent organization which would evaluate the competence of professionals in the animal sector, as well calls for a ban on electric collars or stranglers.
The president of the canine training organization, under which the club where the scandal took place fall,told local news:
[We condemn] this type of method which is not at all what we teach. We are ignoring which club it took place in for the moment, we are up to date and are continuing our own little investigation in order to later impose sanctions.
