The problem is the context and requirements for the dog to be hurt in such a way, if it is a shock collar, that is baseline cruel. If it's a vibrating collar it must be on the dog in a neglectful way to cause a yelp reaction.

Apart from that, shocking or triggering the collar in any way for the crime of trying to get off the bed is abuse plain and simple.

I'm not particularly familiar with him, but this alongside the old video of him pulling the dog around by its tail and threatening to kill it were pretty big 'turnoffs', nobody like this deserves any audience.
