I don't think Cesar is abusing the dogs. Usually the dogs he deals with are very aggresive, spoiled rottens by us humans.and after he is done they love him!
let me put it this way, when we humans are out of control and do wrong things, we are send to jail, or a judge made us do community service to brings us down to a "submissive state of mind" (using cesar's words lol). or we are taken to a hospital for crazy people and you could be place in an isolated room. Othertimes, we are taken to a doctor that sometimes prescribe meds to makes us submissive. the point is nobody thinks this is abusive, we deserve it or it has to be done because we have been "bad".
why is it abusive when extreme methods are use on a extreme behaving dog? |
It is not that he is successful that there is a need to be critial.
It is that he is far to rough and over bearing and does not read body language at all well of dogs.
As for him working with aggressive dog there are any number of trainers, vets and PHDs including the guys in dog town that work with far worse and never zap, poke or shove fists in mouths. Ever.
The guys aT dog town have a few of Mick Vicks pit bulls and they are out or about to go out in the world with rehab and be well.
I did not see Ceaser work with or be allowed to work with any of those dogs.
Those are the worse of the worse.
Extreme methods are not needed to rehab a dog it your willing to do it slow and easy and get there in the dogs time not yours.
Dogs do not want to rule the world they do what works and what is or makes them comfortable with the least amount of work.
Many are looking like my girl for the world and it just does not make sence to her how it all works. She needs the structure and the support that comes with understanding but inflected and rick solid with no flex when she was a bad day is not a good thing. LEader ship show be flexable. and give when needed and the way ceaser does it there is not give.
WHen this girl of mine goes off into space the last thing she needs is someone pulling at her leash going do it. She needs to chill and be left to settle so she can go back out and learn. Shut down is an ugly thing in both humans and in dogs and it not helped by getting tough. It is helped by support and drugs.
