I'm sorry you don't like my choice of words, but that's what I saw. He hit, kicked, and stared the dog down. Could he have been rougher? Sure, but he could have been gentler too.

Staring at a dog will provoke an aggressive response in many dogs. It's aggressive behavior, of course it can provoke aggression in return. It's aggressive in humans as well. A truly aggressive dog would have been on the end of her leash, snarling, teeth bared. She was just tense. Cesar could probably have walked backwards towards her and he would have been fine. None of the people who knew her said she was particularly aggressive towards people.

Again, when Cesar kicked her - I will admit, he took his shoe off first - an aggressive dog would have gone for his throat. Bella did what most dogs do, which is she want along to get along.

I've watched Cesar work with a lot of dogs at this point, and I would say I've only seen him work with one or two truly aggressive dogs.


I will watch the episode with the Akita.
