Okay, I haven't watched the video yet, but I want to say something else about the supposed magic of Cesar's methods. Cesar does know how to restrain a dog and prevent a full-blown attack. So if a dog is struggling, Cesar is going to win that fight. I concede that it takes experience to know how to hold a dog in a way he can't get at you, but I don't think it's a special talent.

So let's consider the options a dog has when Cesar acts aggressively or provocatively towards a dog:
- the dog can give up/show submissive, calming signs, such as lying down.
- the dog can whine/cry in distress.
- the dog can get aggressive back, to no avail.
- the dog can totally flip out and struggle with everything it has to get away, to no avail.
- the dog can pretend to submit, and then after Cesar has left, it can start legal action against him.

Okay, so I made up the last point. I added it to demonstrate that while Cesar's dogs have done all of these things, eventually the dog will give up, if for no other reason than he is exhausted. Dogs lack capacity for deceit or foresight. What you see is what you get. I guess what I'm saying is I don't understand why it's so impressive that the dogs submit, because that is the only choice they have. If the dog immediately submits, it's credited to Cesar's amazing dog handling skills. If the dog cries, it is called manipulative, eventually it gives up, and it's credited to Cesar's amazing dog handling skills. If the dog gets aggressive, people take that as proof the dog is dangerous, eventually it gives up, and it's credited to Cesar's amazing dog handling skills... etc.
