1) It made us feel pitiful for the dogs who were abused by the trainers as treating dogs that way is not correct. Dogs are not supposed to be trained in a harsh manner and should be trained politely.

2) We would go up to the trainers and tell them politely that the way they treat the dogs are not right if they are aggressive to us or still continue to treat them badly, we will report it to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

3) If we were to put ourselves in the dog owners shoes, we would feel very angry and regretful for sending our dogs to irresponsible training areas.

1. I feel sad, since the dogs don't deserve to be treated this way and it's a living just like us. No animals should be treated like that as well. Animals have feelings and we can't treat it like it's an object.

2. I would call the police or maybe ask them to stop because they are hurting the dogs.

3. The owners will feel upset about this since this is their own pets and the trainers are abusing the dogs.

1. I feel upset as trainers of animal welfare centres should be animal lovers themselves, yet the trainers in the article were seen abusing the two dogs.

2. If I were to witness a situation like that, I would write a report on the situation and email it to the owners of the animal welfare centre as I do not condone the behaviour and actions of those trainers.

3. The abused dogs' owners would feel angry as the trainers should be there to train the dogs and not abuse them without consent. They may also feel disappointed as they trusted the trainers to train their animals well but they have disappointed them.

Another video shows the other dog handler dragging a black Shiba Inu to place it next to another dog. The man then hits the animal on its flank and head as it cowers from him.

"This was just witnessed this morning, we are not affiliated with any company or business, just witnessing the treatment by @xavian_and_pack on the poor furkids for a photo-op made us furious!" the video caption read.

In response to CNA's queries, the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) said on Tuesday it was aware of the video and is looking into the matter.

"AVS does not condone mistreatment of pets and first-time offenders caught abusing an animal may be charged under the Animals and Birds Act, and could be fined up to S$15,000, jailed up to 18 months, or both," it said.

AVS, which is a cluster of the National Parks Board (NParks), urged members of the public to report any suspected cases of animal cruelty.

Responding to CNA's queries, animal welfare group Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) said on Tuesday morning that it was alerted to the video showing the trainers mishandling the animals.

"Just like us, animals experience pain and distress. We appeal to pet owners to only use humane, science-based and force-free training methods. Positive reinforcement helps nurture a loving, enriching relationship with our pets," said SPCA.

The animal welfare group reminded pet owners and trainers to refrain from using violence or intimidation.

"Hitting, hurting, or threatening animals can cause increased fear and anxiety, that could result in long-term health and behavioural issues."

SPCA also asked those who had negative experiences with the training provider in the video to contact them so that they can investigate the matter.
