I just got done watching the whole first season of his show. (from the library) I think he is amazing the way he works and the results he gets. I don't do the long walks, either but it makes me wonder about some of the Yorkies I've read about with behavorial problems... maybe it WOULD help them.
I love and pamper my pups but they ARE dogs. Sorry, but they are!
I totally believe in the pack leader thing and my pups are learning now about letting me in and out of the door first. In the past I have taken larger breeds to training classes and saw many dogs there who would have benefited greatly by Cesar's ways.
I have found that they don't hate you or become afraid - they respect you. On the holding them down issue, I use that with one of mine cause she can get aggressive out of jealousy. Well, that is just not ok - it can cause way too many problems. She certainly isn't afraid of me... she wants to be with me all the time and would lick my face till it fell off if I let her!
So, I guess I would give Cesar a
.
