    Subj: upper west side dog alert
    
    Please forward this email to all, anyone you know living on the Upper West Side NYC....a pack walking company named Zen -K9 is using force to train and walk the dogs.  They have been seen punching, kicking, hanging and 2 dogs died running in traffic as the head trainer was loading his van.  This is a group of Romanian Pack Walkers instilling such fear in the dogs they come home well behaved and owners actually impressed as their dogs are so submissive.  The means to this end is horrible, they are punched, kicked, heads bashed into sidewalk, yelled at for even lifting their heads up from sidewalk sit stays for 1/2 hour interval photo shoots and more.  Many have called the police and ASPCA, locals are enraged, owners of dogs do not know this is occuring. 
    
    Should you know any dog owners on the upper west side tell them to find themselves a walker or trainer that will not BEAT their pets into submission.
    
    They use the name Zen-K9 which is to be a peaceful, harmonious training technique....they do the exact opposite and scare, beat, intimadate and abuse the dogs and in the most cruel manner as witnessed by many shocked and stunned on lookers.  This company was started by Tibor Feigel who now has hired 4 other Romanians as cruel as he is and he is calling himself the self proclaimed dog whisperer by scaring the daylights out of domesticated dogs so they behave well at home.
    
    Thanks to all and forward to all .
