A dog trainer in New Jersey is facing backlash online after a video showed him confronting a woman who appeared unbothered by his dog approaching her. The clip, shared by the Instagram account “TheN8tiveDogfather,” has drawn over a million views and a wave of comments criticizing his behavior.
The video shows a woman on rollerblades in an outdoor paved area. She is wearing a pink crop top, white shorts, sunglasses, and white headphones. A black dog, identified in the video as “Archie,” approaches her while an off-screen man yells commands trying to call the dog back.
