I don't see any links to those here. If there are experienced people heading veterinary medical boards and national rescues who support Cesar's methods, let's hear from them. |
These "expert" individuals attempting to discredit Cesar may have a tremendous amount of education, but I don't see the ability to clearly evaluate visuals that are presented to them. Case in fact -- if the video with the Husky is evidence of Cesar kicking a dog, then I have absolutely NO respect what so ever for any of their opinions and I don't need to delve any further.
I have trained horses and dogs (my personal dogs and horses that I have sold - so I guess that makes me a professional horse trainer) for over 20 years. I have worked with, and studied a plethora of trainers and training methods and have gleaned from each techniques that work for me. I have three Golden Rules when training that can never ever be broken. Any training technique that I can use that will help me reach a goal and allow me to follow the rules below I will try.
1) I cannot get hurt
2) The animal I am training cannot get hurt
3) The animal I am training must be more relaxed at the end of a training session than it was at the beginning (notice I said
relaxed - not tired)
One last point here -- I sincerely appreciate training methods that teach the individual to think. Mercury, I wish you could come to the farm for one of our training sessions with the horses. I think you would truly be amazed and pleased with what you saw.
