I watched in horror and stunned that Cesar got down in the Hotel room , where th little Chi had hid himself , away, and heard Cesar say to the dog, you bite me, I'll bite u too. He was not kidding> That little Chi was very aggressive, afraide, and out of control, I did see that Cesar does use very aggressive methods as a way to control, dogs any way that he can, and that is a fact, no matter what the size . Their was no positive training, or special ways he was using on the dog. He has patience, an enormous amount of patience, however, he waits it out , in order for the dog to finally become submissive to him > much like breaking a untame , wild, horse. To me this is very much like what I compare Cesar Milan to. He is old style .Many may disagree, however, it is not the first time I have seen him be aggressive in his dog training "skills" It's not psychology, it is making the dog break down, to submit to the owner, to "give up" give in , in human words say "I surrender" |
I haven't seen the particular episode you're talking about so I can't comment on that. But I have a question... why is it OK for a dog to bite a human but a human can't "bite" a dog back? So, it's okay for the dog to do that to me but I can't do it back? I don't know, that just doesn't make sense to me. For example, if a little Chi was maybe biting on my feet, trying to attack me, I'm supposed to just allow it since I'm only allowed to use "positive" training? Sorry, but I'm going to let him know that's not okay and I'm bigger than you, lol.
Also, question, why
shouldn't you let a dog surrender to you? It's much like punishing a child when they do something wrong... when you send them to their room to think about what they're doing and then they finally give in and break down and come down and apologize to you because they realize what they did was wrong.
And, I've said it before and I'll say it again, if making a dog summit to you and surrender is soo very life threatening to them, why are all the dogs he works with still happy, wagging their tail and a lot of the dogs he works with will give him kisses and be so excited to see him? He's obviously not psychologically harming the dog.
My dad's dog, Lily, she knows when she's done something wrong. If she starts growling at Jackson, all my step-mom has to do is walk over to her, above her, with her hands on her hips and say "Lily..." and Lily surrenders in that sense, by giving her kisses rather than attacking Jackson.
