I did aggession training, obedience training and search and rescue training with a Doberman that I had years back. I have had to see instances where a dog was out of control and had to be dealt with by hanging by its choker until it submitted, released and when it tried to attack again the choker tightened again. To be fair, the owner (an older man who appeared never to have trained his dog in the first place) had to get the dog out of the back of his car, while wearing those tough leather gloves that you see powerline workers use. After a few instances where the dog realized that he wasn't the alpha he started to learn his place in the pack, but he never went home with the old guy.
It was horrific to watch, but the result was that while the dog would always have to have a stronger handler, he didn't have to be put down. Perhaps the dog that the guy was laying on was a problematic dog that he was trying to introduce to the two others but it got out of control. This is all speculative of course.
