I Like him a lot, i got one of his books as a gift from someone who has one of our puppies... and i will repeat her words:"nothing that an experienced and diligent dog owner have not already figured out !"
His show certainly helps a lot of new owners.
As far i have seen i never saw any abuse or anything closed on Cesar's part , and he is a great defender of adoption and rehabilitation, which is

!
Again, i think that new dog and new puppy owners can only benefit from these shows, the other dog tv show also is nice, with the victoria girl... she has different methods that also works and that is how it goes... different trainers use different methods... as long as there is no abuse it is great help for those a little lost with their furry kids !
