I block with my foot, and Thor does not flinch or get physically moved from the force. I'm honestly a little surprised that people are so sensitive to the word. Let's call it what it is. No, Cesar does not kick dogs like you would kick a football, but there is force behind it.
As for sssshhhht thing, as I said, I think that's basically like teaching one generalized command of "pay attention to me" or "stop what you are doing." That's fine.
Saying I don't like Cesar doesn't mean that I am attacking a poster here personally, or saying you've trained your dog badly. If people had complaints about Victoria being abusive, or associations had issued warnings about her methods, I would want to know about that. The real issue is training dogs, not our personal feelings about television personalities.
