Here you go:

“First, Jones swung the dog in a circle in a technique known as “helicoptering.” The dog was swung in such force that it became airborne.
>
> Herndon TESTIFIED that he did not object to the helicoptering but did become concerned when Jones took Ricoh by the leash and suspended him from the railing.

Right from the article...

Swinging a dog by the leash is known as “helecoptering”....

The helicoptering isn’t on the video but was testified to by the witness. He didn’t think it was bad but drew the line at the hanging and kicking.

To be fair the article doesn’t say it was done by the leash. It could have been done by the hose in the dogs mouth, or by his ears. More likely it was done using the leash as that is what the officer used to hang the dog.

If you have to resort to either of these tactics to get a dog to release then you are a piss poor trainer.
