Hall told News On 6 he wasn't abusing his dogs, but that he was disciplining them.

“Had someone come to me just one time I would have been alerted that someone was displeased with the way I handle my dogs, and I say my way because it's different than other people's way,” he said.

Hall said the cell phone video was taken out of context because the dog had just bitten him.

Records show Hall now faces two counts of animal cruelty.
