Second we as humans are afraid we may have made a mistake and may have to admit it. So we tend to burry ones head in the sand and not deal. Easier to beat up the messager and hope they go away. Then change.
Third we as humans tend to not trust science as it tends to change ...cause it does as we learn more.
Fourth it easier to go with what we are raised with then to go against what we have been taught facts not withstanding.
Fifth he got more flash and cute than many of the sicence based guys out there. And hay who does not like watching a cute butt with a cute accent on tv. then one that is not so cute and knows more.. sex sells even in a dog training show.
Sixth it sells rough tough in your face is just more sale worth in some eyes.
Seventh it easier to believe what we think we know as facts as it always been understood to be so ,,,you know the nice little wives tails than reallity.
eight.. we as human need pack order in our lives to make the world make sence so there for we slap it on everything else even if they do not work that way.
nine. If we really had to learn this stuff to save a life, then some of us would but most just want the fast fix and a wham bam thank man over. not to even see the pain it causes. Cause we hav control and control is all important that power rush thing.
Ten did I say it sells.. he is cute. He got a hard luck bring himslef by the boot strap story that all to many fall all over and respect. Miss Oprah got on his band wagon and that all she wrote..

Really, so you think it all boils down to his good looks..Please!!!!! give the man credit. His good looks are a plus but he is smart and his methods do work.
I don't agree with anything you say about humans. I embrace change, I find science intriguing and I walk outside of the pack, (in casy you haven 't noticed).
I have applied what I have learned from Cesar to humans, and for the most part it works, but I do believe that he knows dogs better than anyone else.
Some of his rehab methods might be questionable, but for the most part, he does nothing to train a dog, he trains the people.
he only uses the stricter stronger methods on problem dogs. I look at it more like tough love. It might seem harsh now, but it is for their own good in the long run.
if he can work a dog through it's issue so it can remain in it's home, isn 't that the best solution.
