Again, I think it can be problematic because there is still so much we don't know. I'd certainly rather work with a dog trainer who has 15 years experience than someone who has none at all. At the same time, many people who have worked with children for fifteen years are good, bad, or indifferent teachers, and there are lots of different styles of teaching. Again, I feel that we are further along in our understanding of dog learning than we are with people, so while I don't feel like I can speak with confidence on the "best way to raise children", I do feel that we can make some generalizations about dogs.
Another thing I don't like about Cesar (I really don't hate the guy as much as it sounds like I do, ha ha), is his insistence that you must buy into his technique, body and soul. To me, it almost feels culty - if my method is working for you, you must not believe in it enough. That's why I object so much when Cesar gets upset with owners for daring to sit with their dogs or in some cases, just watching out the window!
VS argues with owners too, but it doesn't have the same oppressive feeling to me.
