Each of us is (or should be) the best trainer for our own dogs. We all have the responsibility to learn what will work best for our situations and dogs. For me, I use a combination of ideas gleaned from a lifetime of working with animals. Although I do not agree that all of Cesar's techniques will work for me or my Yorkies, I have found many that do. |
Let me try it this way then
Say someone a human you know had a mental break down......
Now where would you go for help.....
A DR. a PHD, MD, Carded Doctor not a quack right.
Not your next door neighbour or the kid on the corner that looked after his dotty auntie for 20 years.
What I am saying is that Ceaser does not have the skill set to work with the dogs he seems to think he can. Some maybe.
But the one that was afraid of thunder no. That on the playing level of a human nervous break down not a slick fix up by a quack.
Not when the first thing out the door evertime is pack leader take charge...some of these dogs need to to stop and let them get a grip and take the lead as if you bully they bite.
When playing around with mental health you play go to those carring the full deck of knowledge and you do not start from rough you start at the point a dog in major stress can give you and build not tear down.
