What works for one dog may not work for another.... but I can say that me giving Jackson a quick touch near his neck definitely snaps him out of it and a lot of Cesar's methods work for us. He's 98% of the time a great dog. We're working on a few things but there's no such thing as the perfect dog, I don't think. Cesar's a very wise man, in my opinion, and not just with dogs. I think he knows dogs well. And if he was mis-treating his dogs in his "pack" sooo bad, then why do they all come up to him, tails wagging, licking his face? I think people don't give him enough credit. He lists the warning "Do not try this at home" for a reason. He's a professional and if you don't know what you're doing, you're liable to ruin a dog. He's got the "magic touch" that a lot of people don't have. Some of his methods work for me and Jackson, but I honestly don't think I could do what he does with a 150 pound Rottweiler. |
IF one knows how to use reinforcers in the right manner and what works for that dog like right now I have one that will not work for food but you show him water he is all over trying to get it.
Ceser has not magic touch it just good luck and again go talk to the trainers in his home state and see just how many Ceser dogs they are fixing.
As I am a dog trainer with experince and I work aggression I am verry aware some dogs learn faster then others and you need to find their sweet spot but abuse is not acceptable ever in training it is the lazy mans way out and if you do not poke a human kid why is it accpetable to do it to a dog as they think and feel at very simlar levels.
Right now I working on a 11 month old 96 pounder that is still growing and you can not force him to do anything you ask. I am big enough to take him down and have had to to get him safe as he was about to bolt but for his safe keeping only. I not willing to spend my life forcing him into a kennel or into a car I rather ask and him going willingly and without poking prodding or teaching him to sudmit. I work out the why do you not want to and then fix that.
