Dog whisperer can walk pack of German Shepherds without leads

A dog whisperer who became famous for walking a pack of unleashed German Shepherds through busy city centres has revealed how his training methods have saved thousands of dogs from death.

Augusto Deoliveira, from Sharon, South Carolina, became an internet sensation after a video of him walking five German Shepherds down a city street without a single lead went viral.

The 27-year-old man says that the most rewarding part of his job as an expert dog trainer is the ability to save lives of dogs who otherwise would have been put down by their owners for their aggressive behaviour.

Augusto calls himself a 'balanced trainer' and says that he uses both positive and corrective reinforcement techniques to train the dogs.

You can watch him in action in the video above.
