I feel like we are splitting hairs here. Of course the CONCEPT of drugs isn't new, that doesn't mean anti-depressants and studies on their success in dogs isn't new. I'm befuddled here.

And of course some things can't be scientifically tested, but that area shrinks year by year.

I guess I just disagree with you on Cesar know what dogs "really need". To me, he says they are fulfilled by not behaving in ways that bother their owners. Just for the record, I don't think VS is a ground breaking trainer either - however, she has obviously stayed current on modern techniques. Again, I think if Cesar were truly innovative, scientists would be motivated to study what he was doing, because scientists want to understand things, even if they do not appear to analyzable with current methods. Animal researchers love watching horse whisperers and all kinds of people who have special bonds with animals.
