If you aren’t familiar with the term, it refers to lifting the dog off the ground using a leash and collar and swinging the dog around, hence the term “helicoptering”.
The dog voided her bladder and bowels before the trainer lowered her to the ground.
While accounts vary as to the dog’s behavior during the training session, there’s no doubt the trainer made the decision to “helicopter” the dog.
In this instance a choke chain was used.
The dog had been blinded due to hypoxia during the helicoptering.
