Angry parents have been in uproar over one of Channel 4’s latest documentaries that encourages parents to train their babies like dogs.
The documentary, How To Train Your Baby Like A Dog, sees dog trainer and animal behaviorist Jo-Rosie Haffenden showing parents how to use dog training techniques to help their children behave.In the first episode, Haffenden – who admitted to using the methods on her own children – assists a mother and her three-year-old boy deal with his tantrums and an 18-month-old who refuses to sleep in her cot.
At the start of the program the dog trainer says: ‘I don’t understand why we haven’t been applying animal techniques to humans, universally.’ But the unusual concept has rubbed a few people up the wrong way, with thousands signing a petition to get the show axed before it had even aired.was signed by 25,000 people who claimed the show was ‘dehumanising’ for children and could potentially turn those involved in the program into ‘prime target[s] for grooming in the future as they will have been taught to comply to an adult’s demands, regardless of their own comfort or autonomy for reward’.
Some viewers that stayed to watch the show were left disgusted and feeling ‘sick’ watching the animalistic methods being used, with a few even switching off their TVs altogether.
It works and Jo-Rosie left two happy kids.
