A so called dog trainer who charges £600 per person for his seminars was due to hold a seminar in Manchester this summer.

Jeff Gellman, who owns Solid K9 Training, has been publicly criticised for his 'techniques' on social media, leading him to deactivate his twitter with his tail between his legs.

The widespread outcry began this week when videos of his sessions with dog owners made their way onto the internet, showing the coward hitting unsuspecting dogs with rolled up towels.
