Exactly. I saw an episode once where he had a dog by the slip collar and when the dog turned his head ever so slightly (and cautiously) to the left (he was going to look at something across the street I think) he got a sharp, upward yank on his trachea. He was forced to stroll along at a snail's pace and look straight ahead or down the entire walk. Training a dog to give you attention at certain times is one thing but he should enjoy doing that and enjoyment doesn't come from pain and force. But to rob a dog of any normal interaction ever... with the environment as he walks along is just cruel and unnatural.
Of course, granted, you see him skateboarding with dogs and then they look like they're having fun. So, maybe it's his feeling that these "red zone" (translation: simply undertrained) dogs need "discipline" first, then fun. And most of us think discipline (teaching) goes along with fun or that learning should be fun and can be.
