I agree with you as well. I think Ceasar is great! I like Victoria too. I feel with any kind of training you have to try it and see what works. I've seen the episode of It's Me or the Dog with the Old English Sheep Dogs and these owners never set rules or boundaries with anything, all they did was give affection which caused the dogs to take over. I think it was her way to get the owners to be aware of how much affection they are giving in comparison to how little they were being leaders, and like someone else previously posted these rules are usually temporary until they get the desired results.
