Haggerty did not use the word “daylights.”) He added: Sure enough, the dog starts barking and I explode into the house and scare the living” daylights out of the dog. The desperate renter will have to get rid of the dog if the problem isn’t fixed. “Take the dog who barks and barks relentlessly. Haggerty explained in the same interview. These methods, in which trainers “sit down with the owners, hypothesize, talk philosophy and whisper in the dog’s ear kissy face nice-nice and click a clicker,” were almost always ineffectual, he told Dog World magazine in 2003. But he had little patience for the New Age dog-training methods of recent years. Haggerty’s big blunt exterior belied a soft center, associates said. He trained dogs for the United States military during the Vietnam War, for police departments around the country and for many Hollywood celebrities. Haggerty trained dogs for more than 450 television commercials and more than 150 feature films, including “Eyes of Laura Mars,” “Shamus” and “The Pawnbroker.” He trained dogs for Broadway (“Annie”) and for daytime dramas (“All My Children” and “The Guiding Light”). For many years, he presided over Captain Haggerty’s School for Dogs, which he founded in Manhattan 45 years ago and later moved to Los Angeles. Haggerty was widely credited with establishing dog training as a respectable profession in this country. The cause was cancer, said his daughter, Babette Haggerty-Brennan.Ī former Army captain, Mr. Haggerty, perhaps the most famous dog trainer in the United States, who was familiar to legions of dog owners as Captain Haggerty and to legions of dogs as He Who Must Be Obeyed, died on July 3 in West Palm Beach, Fla.
